Exchanging information between custom contact forms wildthingz[ at ]gmail.com 15.09.2006 04:57:59 I am new to outlook and I am currently creating an contacts area for my organisation using public folders. There are two main types of contacts - Internal and External, which use different custom forms. I want to have a drop down list in the External contact form which has the full names of all the Internal contacts so the External contacts can select which Internal contact introduced them to the organization. Is it possible to do this?

You'd write code behind the form to read the names from the folder and populate the list. Use the Item_Write event handler. FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms -- 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 <wildthingz[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:1158296279.861010.322370[ at ]d34g2000cwd.googlegroups.com...
