Custom form in public folder always wants to save changes
I have a problem with a custom form that I've published in a public folder
(contact items) and set as the default (only allowable) form. Every time you open one of the contacts, regardless of whether you make a change to the contact, Outlook always asks if you want to Save Changes. I tried clearing the forms cache but it still does it. I can open a contact to view it then close it. Save changes pops up. Doesn't matter if I say yes or no. If I reopen the same contact, it will go through the exact same process even though no edits were made. Any thoughts on what's up or how I fix it? -- Tom G.

Custom form in public folder always wants to save changes
The symptoms suggest that something in the form's design is changing a property value. It could be code behind the form or some odd interaction with a combo box or list box.

There is a list box and a radio button group for two custom fields but they aren't doing anything other than offering the possible values. There is no code behind the form. -- Tom

How are the possible values for the list box being set?

Media Release is bound to a keywords field but it looks like it's set up as a single-select list box? That could be part of the problem. A text field would be more appropriate in that scenario.

That was it. I ended up copying the data in the keywords field to User 1. Deleted the keywords field. Pointed the single-select control to User 1. Republished the form and no more "save on exit" message. Yay. -- Tom G. Send replies to tom |att| geldner /dott/ com
