Adding an "All Contact Field" to a Message Form
I am trying to design a "New Hire" Message form for use with our HR
department. Some of the items they want to send in a form are • Name • Department • Job Title When I try to create a User-Defined field called Department, Outlook complains that "A field with this name already exists in the 'All Contact Fields' field set. Enter a different name." In the Field Chooser Toolbox, I've tried adding "Contact" from the Forms... window, to no avail, as the Contact drop down says there are (no fields available) I can use the Control Toolbox to create a Text Box, but am not sure this is the right way to go. Thank you, Eric |
Adding an "All Contact Field" to a Message Form
You must create a custom property with a different name for use on your message form. Note that this form won't work unless you can publish it to the Organizational Forms library or each user's Personal Forms library.
