How to design a custom form that use User defined fields defined on a particular folder (not the default inbox one)
Hi,
I'm developing some custom forms and I'd like to use user defined fields that are defined at a particular folder. The problem is that when I create or modify a form the designer just show me User defined fields of the Inbox (The default Inbox) folder. Is the any way to do that? Best regards, LucasC

How to design a custom form that use User defined fields defined on a particular folder (not the default inbox one)
In design mode the "user defined fields in the folder" only apply to fields
for the default folder of that type of item. For contacts for example it would be the default Contacts folder. Create the user defined properties you want in Inbox if you're customizing a Message or Post form before you customize the form and your fields will be available. You can do that from a table view using the Field Chooser. Click the New button to add a new field to the user defined fields of that folder. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Lucas Campos" wrote in message ...

Or, start the form design session by creating a new item in the desired folder, then putting it in design mode with Tools |Forms | Design This Form.

How to design a custom form that use User defined fields defined on a particular folder (not the default inbox one)
I tried this:
1. Select the desired folder 2. File | New | Mail 3. Tools |Forms | Design This Form But User defined fields just show me the inbox available fields. Should I save the message (and move it to my folder if it is saved in the Draft folder)? Any step I missed? Thanks you very much Ken and Sue. LucasC "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Mail items always default to the Inbox. Create the fields you want in the
