Field Chooser on Customer forms items empty
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? Thanks! Dave H

Did you try using the dropdown list at the top of the Field Chooser to choose
a different set of fields? What do you mean by "customer objects"? -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Dave Hauer" wrote: 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.

Yes, and when I select the actual custom form in the drop down box, no field
are present, and there should be a bunch! syntax error on my part, I meant custom (not customer) objects like all the text boxes, etc. Thanks!

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. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "DBH" wrote: Yes, and when I select the actual custom form in the drop down box, no field are present, and there should be a bunch! syntax error on my part, I meant custom (not customer) objects like all the text boxes, etc. Thanks!

Field Chooser on Customer forms items empty
This is weird because I know that at one time, the fields would be available
when I did this. 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!

"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? -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "DBH" wrote: This is weird because I know that at one time, the fields would be available when I did this.
