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 |

WebPage/FileAs fields on custom contacts form
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. -- 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 "Wolfgang Kais" wrote in message ...

Thanks a lot, so it wasn't my fault.
Maybe i'll use your interesting code for the hyperlink appearance... -- Regards, Wolfgang "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

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 "Wolfgang Kais" wrote: Thanks a lot, so it wasn't my fault.
