I want to customise the Meeting Request form. I have added a new Meeting
Request Form from Design Form section. In one of
the tabs (P.2) I have placed some controls (textbox, button,labels) and
"Required Attendees" field from Field Chooser options.
How can I add the VB code to the form to invoke the button click event and
populate the Required Attendees field ? When I do Alt + F11, am not able to
access the form elements.

Kindly let me know how to add code and populate the Required Attendees field
programatically.

Thanks in advance.
Regards
GSK

Alt+F11 opens the VBA coding environment. Code on custom forms is not VBA, but VBScript. With the form in design mode, click the View Code button.

Thanks. But am not sure how to access the controls(buttons,textbox) in the
Script editor window. If you could provide some example it would be really
great.

Thanks and Regards

You need to type in the complete procedure declaration for any Click event handlers, e.g.:

Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Msgbox "It works"
End Sub

For Item-level events, use the Script | Event Handler command.

The VBA environment is still useful, of course, for prototyping code and for looking up Outlook property names in the object browser.

programatically.

To start with I tried this in the P.2 form

Function Item_Open()
Msgbox "hi"
Item.GetInspector.ShowFormPage ("P.2")
Msgbox "hi"
End Function

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Msgbox "hi"
End Sub

When I ran it, I am getting both the "Hi" messages but the P.2 form is not
selected.
When I go to P.2 form and click on the button, the message is not displayed.

Also please let me know would it be possible to a use
MAPI.Session/address/field and query the CdoPR_BUSINESS_ADDRESS_CITY value
and display in the controls.

THanks again.

I just found the syntax issue and its working now the Form selection and
button click. But I still have the other question. Please let me know would
it be possible to a use
MAPI.Session/address/field and query the CdoPR_BUSINESS_ADDRESS_CITY value
and display in text field on click of button in the Custom form.

Thanks
