Thank you very much - I will check it AGAIN - I must have looked at in a
hundred times and missed that.

I notice you have a typo in " Item.UserProperites("Lab Manager Name") " (
should be " Item.UserProperties("Lab Manager Name") ". It couldn't be as
simple as that could it?

First thank you for your help - I am making progress and the solution of
using the Word template to do what I need does seem to be the best
option.
But I am once again stuck and after trying for way too long on my own I
decided to ask for help. I did check in you book and on the newgroups. I
am
sure the answer is there but I am missing it.

I used the code in Ch 22 as I a guideline but I keep getting variable not
defined for the following code. Seems the problem is
Item.UserProperities.

Sub FillFields(objDoc)
Dim colFields
Set colFields = objDoc.FormFields
colFields("LabManagerName").Result = _
Item.UserProperites("Lab Manager Name")
End Sub

You must add the fields to the folder, either manually or by writing a
script or some VBA code that (a) creates a new post in the folder and
(b) adds fields to it. Such a script is available at

Hi there Sue, thanks so much I will look at it. I am sure with my
background
in doing this in Access is not helping it seems to be much different
in
Outlook. At least I know I am just missing something.

I do have one more question for you - if I may. I created the form
but
realized that I did all the customizatio "user-defined" fields at the
form
level and not folder level. Now when I created a new sub-folder the
items
that are not on the form are not available under the folder level.
Preventing me from adding them to mail-merge. Any way to rectify
this
easily.

Hi Francine! It *is* difficult, at least until you understand the
technique. Outlook doesn't do WYSIWYG printing of custom forms. I
always use the Word template method described at
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customprint.htm along with other
various solutions.

Okay all I think I am making this more difficult then it needs to
be so I
thought instead of doing that I would ask our group here for help.


Created customized form with mutliple tabs and fields.

I am trying to find the best way to print a customized contact
form. The
goal is to be able to print the contact form that is selected in a
predined
tempate automatically by pushing a print command button. Typically
they are
going to print a single contact at a a time.

I am trying to figure out the best method to do this such as
create and make
it as seemless as possible to the end-user.

Custom Form Printing
 

Sue, I think the code below is what I need as I have created a custom from
with User Defined Fields in the Folder which is what I need. However now I
need to move the custom from to another folder. When I publish the form to
the new folder the User Defined Fields are not there once I publish it to the
new folder location. I believe the code listed below would be the option to
take or is there a better way for moving the custom form from one folder to
another without losing the user-defined from fields in the folder, which I
need in order to do to the mail merge -catalog option. Regarding the
script indicated below I looked on the page but I can not seem to locate it.

Appreciate all you do very much

Custom Form Printing
 

Ah, they've rearranged the pages again. Here's the script link: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/04/23483/23483.zip

Moving the form, publishing the form, etc. will have no effect on the fields defined in the folder. You must add the fields to each folder if you want to see them in the folder views.
