I am creating an Outlook 2003 custom form for the very first time. I've
searched for the answer but either cannot find it or may not understand an answer which discusses scripting. I do not know VB Script or any other programming. I have a Message type form where I want the Subject field auto populated by data (values) that will be provided from other fields selected or input by the user/sender: 1 - Event Type - is a Combo Box with a drop down selection (which initial value on the Properties tab is set to be the first selection, namely, "Select Event Type") 2 - Expiration Date - is a text box with no initial value set. (When running/opening the form, the field is popuilated as "none" - I assume because there isn't yet a date value input). 3 - Description - is a text box with no initial value set. (When running/openning the form, the field is blank). I have the initial value on the Properties tab of the Subject field set with the following formula: [Event Type] + " " + "Expiring" + " " + [Expiration Date] + ":" + [Description] When I run/open the form, before any user/sender input, the Subject line says: "Select Event Type Expiring None:" There are no changes to the Subject line (field) after making a selection from the drop down list, inputing a date and a "description" in the resepective fields on the form. The receipient of the form (myself, for testing purposes) see the Subject of the message (custom form) as: ""Select Event Type Expiring None:" Is there a way to do this without scripting? Please help me. |
