Don't confuse controls and properties. test is the name of a custom property (aka field), not a control.

Show the formula you're using for two fields.

I'm trying to create a custom Outlook form that will take data entered

Can this be done?

Sue, yes this is a message form for internal use. I'll just post the
*.oft file to our SharePoint server for users to enter data.

Also, I actually figured out how to do this.


I created a custom field and told the subject text box to display
what
ever content was in my custom field.


Here is a screenshot of the Properties box of the Subject line text
box -

You will see I set the Initial Value to display text from a custom
text box [test]


Now, I'm trying to figure out how to show data from two or more
custom
fields within the subject text box. When I have two fields in the
Initial Value text box I get the data and time.
