Populate Form with appointments from Calendar

Outlook custom forms use VBScript code, so you can only do what can be done with that language. You can also only design derivatives of existing form types such as appointments. You might want to look at the wealth of forms programming information at www.outlookcode.com. That should get you started. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional...

Using possible values would one-off the form if you do that on the fly at runtime. Check at www.outlookcode.com and search on "possible values" for possible problems. I'd use code to access the Excel data and then just fill the dropdown list with those values, also using code, in the Item_Open() event handler. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author:...

Outlook doesn't support exporting custom fields directly. Quick and dirty method: 1. Put all the items from your form in one folder. 2. Use a table view to display all the data fields that you want to export to Excel. 3. Choose Edit | Select All. 4. Choose Edit | Copy. 5. Paste to Excel. If some of the fields are multi-line, see Eric Legault's handy tip for an Excel formula...
