Outlook Task Template - Search Function
I created a custom TASK template and put it into production for 20 users.
The "search" function does not look at the new fields I added to the template. How can I point the search function to my template? -- Wayne

Outlook Task Template - Search Function
Which "search function" are you referring to? There are at least two, depending on your Outlook version, which you also need to mention.
Were the fields added to the folder or just to the form? Generally, they need to be added to the folder, through the folder's Field Chooser, if you're doing it manually. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Wayne" wrote in message ...

Outlook Task Template - Search Function
The "search function" I am referring to is the one within the TASK view, at
the top of the page. It allows you to search within a list of Tasks. The fields were added to the form. I also added them to the "list view" of Tasks, which I think you refer to with the "field chooser". Does that make sense? -- Wayne "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Which "search function" are you referring to?

Outlook Task Template - Search Function
Without your Outlook version, it's hard to address this issue.

Sorry, forgot that. It is MS Outlook 2003.

Outlook Task Template - Search Function
You'll need to use Advanced Find to search for data in custom fields in Outlook 2003.
Outlook 2007, OTOH, with Instant Search installed should search for custom fields using the find feature at the top of the view. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Wayne" wrote in message ...
