Default WebPage/FileAs fields on custom contacts form

Dear Outlook Experts.

I have a question concerning the WebPage field on a custom form for
contacts in Office Outlook 2003 SP2 (11.8010.8036).
The form contains a multi-page control with 2 pages: company and private.
The company page of that control contains a textbox displaying the
WebPage field
When the FileAs field (outside the multipage control) contains a value
and a user then clicks the private tab and then clicks to return to the
company tab, Outlook crashes and has to be restarted and wants to
notify Microsoft about the error.
When I replace the default field for the webpage by a simple textbox
and connect it to the webpage field afterwards, the error does not
occur. But unfortunately, that textbox then doesn't support the nice
hyperlink features anymore (although it adds "http://" automatically)!
Does anyone know what causes the problem and how to fix it? I'd really
prefer to use the default field (from the field list) because of the
hyperlink features.

Regards and thanks in advance,
Wolfgang

I can duplicate the problem easily and thus assume that it's a bug. Workarounds would include not using the Web Page field on a multipage control and using code to invoke a hyperlink -- see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/tips/formhyperlink.htm

The good news is that Outlook 2007 does not appear to have the same problem.

Thanks a lot, so it wasn't my fault.
Maybe i'll use your interesting code for the hyperlink appearance...

It's a BUG with B Capital.

The same happens with other _recepient controls also.

Let's hope that 2007 will solve some problems..... big wish anyway
