Re: Include field from any form Luc 06.07.2006 14:56:01 I am not an expert in programmation once i create the custom field, can i link it to an existing field? One of the thing i try to archive is to select a contact and have the mail, phone numbner and company to show.

Re: Include field from any form "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" <suemvp[ at ]outlookcode.com> 06.07.2006 15:11:49 Any item shows only the data stored in that item, even though Outlook lets you think otherwise by allowing you to add some fields from different types of items to the form. What you want to do requires custom code to perform the lookup. For a VBA code example that shows how to use the Links collection to accomplish this, see http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=566. It shouldn't be hard to adapt to a custom form. -- 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 "Luc" <Luc[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:37FF1E47-47ED-48A1-960E-A994B89328CF[ at ]microsoft.com...
