Default Custom Forms

2 questions.
1. Is it possible to name a custom tab ie (P.2) (P.3) etc.
2. I have created a multi lined text box in a custom tab and when I test it
by inputting information and save and close, upon re-opening the information
has not saved and the text box is empty? Can someone offe advice?

Default Custom Forms

1) Form | Rename Page

2) Did you bind the text box to an Outlook field? If not, Outlook has no place to store the data. Check on the control's Properties dialog, at the top of the Value tab.

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/comm...rogram_f orms

Thank you Sue I thought I had looked everywhere for this tab name issue, and
the text box hadn't been associated with a label. Both corrected.
