Default Outlook 2003 adding formulae to contact form gives error message o

First attempt at customising Forms. Added three fields to a contact form with
the third field being the addition of the previous two. When I run the form
it works as intended but when I try to save I get the error message "does not
add"

You mean you added a formula field? Please show the formula. Is "does not add" the complete text of the error message?

Default Outlook 2003 adding formulae to contact form gives error messa

On blank contact form added three fields "Hope1"; "Hope2"; and "Hope3". Hope3
was a formlae field with the formulae [Hope1]+[Hope2]. "does not add" is the
complete message. Thanks

This resulted in the result 33 44 in Hope3 when I entered numeric data into
Hope1 33 and Hope2 44. When I went to save I got the same error message "Does
not add". I then reverted back to the original formula and eliminated all
other entries until I was left with just the three fields. Then it worked -
so the error message must have been related to another error. many thanks for
your help - any chance of pointing me in the direction of an idiots guide
would be appreciated.

I'm still unclear as to whether these were numeric properties or text properties, but I'm glad to hear that it worked out for you. Next time, maybe you can include more detail.
