Default Field Chooser on Customer forms items empty

I checked the inbox and its strange, not all the fields show up!

If that didn't work, then what's left is to use the fields in a folder. If
you designed a message form, then the custom fields are probably already
defined in the Inbox and you can use those

FWIW, I think this might be all related to the tighter security on Outlook
custom property usage that requires fields to be defined in a folder to be
usable in most cases.

How are you choosing the form in the Field Chooser? Try going through
the
Forms... option, which will bring up a dialog where you can choose the
form.

When I go to the all fields page and select USER-DEFINED fields in

item
in the select from box, my text box etc names show up. when I choose
the
name of the form, nada! I do have a bunch of fields and several tabs

"Form server"? Do you mean that the form is published to the
Organizational
Forms library? What type of form is it? What did you see when you
looked
at
the All Fields page? How many custom properties should it have?

I looked at the link you suggested. My question is that this form
resides
on the form server. do I need to post/anchor this form to a folder
to
revive
the ability to see the fields in field chooser?
Thanks again!

Not necessarily. It's quite possible to design a form where the
field
definitions don't actually reside in the form -- they're only in
the
folder
instead. You can check this on the form's (All Fields) page by
comparing
the
contents of the two "User Properties" lists. The article at
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=29 describes best
practices
for
adding the field definitions to both the form and the folder,
which
is
the
ideal situation.

Did you try using the dropdown list at the top of the Field
Chooser
to
choose
a different set of fields?

when I open the field chooser in a custom Outlook form and
select
the
current custom form, there are no items listed in the list.
There
are
plenty of customer objects on the form that should be
available.
Any ideas why these customer objects are not showing up?

You can create the field definitions in the folder manually, though, as
needed.
