awesome - thanks for your reply, Sue.

let me simplify my question:

i added a field, "Project Name" to P.2, enabled Display and renamed P.2 to
Project. i have to do this fer every Task i create, though. I would like very
much for it to be available by default whenever i start a New Task, but i
don't see how to...

That's all i want to do. Can this be done, and if so, would you mind showing
me how?

Thanks Very Much,
Glenn

You need to publish the form to the folder, then on the Properties dialog for
the folder, make the form the default for that folder. See:
