Creating Dropdown List, Required Fields, Export Contacts to new Fo
I am updating a contact form and have a few questions
1. How do I create a Dropdown List and add the values? 2. Can I make fields “mandatory” and how? (Basically I want certain fields filled out before the form can be saved. 3. I have several contacts that I want to transfer/export to my new form. How can I do that? Thank you.

Creating Dropdown List, Required Fields, Export Contacts to new Fo
1) See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formcontrols.htm#listcombo
2) Two methods -- enter a validation formula and prompt on the control's Validation tab in its Properties dialog or write code behind the form's Item_Write event handler. 3) You need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your new form's class. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this. 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 -- 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 "CC" wrote in message news  I am updating a contact form and have a few questions 1.
