Creating a custom appointment form
I am needing to create a customized version of the appointment form for a
calendar in Outlook, but when I select the Appointment form from the Design a form menu, it opens but I can't edit the form. I can create customized versions of the other forms (the contact and message form for example), but I can't edit the appointment form. Also, upon further inspection, I can't edit the Journal Entry or Task forms, either. Is there a reason for this? Can it be overridden? Is there another approach I can take with this? I am using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Professional. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Theresa

Creating a custom appointment form
You will not be able to edit any form page that contains a date/time picker, because that control is private to Outlook and not available to developers. Perform your customizations on the P.2-P.5 pages instead. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/appointmentform.htm

Creating a custom appointment form
I'm working on a custom appointment form and I can't seem to find where to
hide the first tab.

Creating a custom appointment form
Thank you, I accidentally came across it after posting this message. Now
that the default Appointment is hidden, I'm receiving an error that a required field needs to be completed before saving the appointment. I believe the required field is in the hidden default Appointment page. Is there a work-around for this?

Creating a custom appointment form
Did you set validation on any fields? Did you provide controls for the user to set Start and End, which are required?

Creating a custom appointment form
For troubleshooting, try displaying the All Fields page. That will let you see all the property values and set them. AFAIK, Start and End are the only ones required, so you will want to start by checking those on All Fields.
You didn't answer my question about validation. -- 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 "Tom" wrote in message ...

Creating a custom appointment form
I didn't set validation on any fields that I'm aware of. I'll take a look at
the Start and End fields again. Does the book explain how to create custom drop-down menus on the forms? I'd like to write a small script to add five selectable items in the Location box.

Custom forms don't have menus. Menus have to be created at the application level, in an add-in. Drop-down list on a form? See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formcontrols.htm#listcombo (and yes, it's in the book, too) Location box? The list that Outlook displays is controlled by a binary-format registry value. You can't add to the list. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: For troubleshooting, try displaying the All Fields page.
