Wrong group, you want to post programming questions in a group that has "program" in it. For BCM, which most of us know very little about, you should post in a BCM group. Those properties will only be there if you have BCM installed and you open a BCM contact item or one that has the same MessageClass as BCM uses. That means the custom form must be published on your computer in one of the form libraries (Personal, Organizational, folder). If those conditions are met you would use the UserProperties collection for those properties: item.UserProperties["AccountNumber"] = "78";
