hello,
in 'design form' of outlook folders, i changed the name of (P.2) into 'Expertise' and made it visible. i added a picklist with different values for 'Expertise'. In the design form, i created a new field to the folder 'Expertise'. i added a new combo box to the Expertise tab. in the properties / values, i referred to the field i created. in the advanced properties, i added in the tag field : picklist=Expertise i published the form. changes i make are saved. however, when my colleague accesses the form, the expertise tab is visible, she also sees the combo box. however, when i change the value of the combo box, my colleague doesn't see the change. her changes aren't visible to me. there must be a problem with the publishing (we're new to this). Questions: - how can i publish this combo box to the public folder so that my colleague can see my changes and vice-versa? - how do i limit the entries into the combo box? now i am able to type a text that is saved but that is not contained in the original picklist. the text isn't added to the picklist either. in any case, i don't want a user to be able to add a value. thank you helping. andy

On the All Fields page of the form, do you see the correct value for your Expertise field?
To limit values to items in the list, on the Advanced Properties dialog for the control, change the value of MatchRequired to -1 - True. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "andy" wrote in message ... hello, in 'design form' of outlook folders, i changed the name of (P.2) into 'Expertise' and made it visible. i added a picklist with different values for 'Expertise'.

Check the Properties dialog of the combo box. At the top of the Value tab do you see the name of the property that you created to hold the data from this combo box, i.e. the same name as in the All Fields page?

hello,
