Hey, need help understanding how to do user defined fields.
I have created a from, and wrote the code, it workes just like i wanted it
with one expection. When you send the form it doesn't keep the data in the
fields. I found out that i have to make user defined fields.
However when i made the fields i am having trouble accessing the fields with
my code now. I have read diff sites and microsoft and they say i should be
ref to fields as:
Item.UserProperties.Find("TextBox1")
Can someone show me now to access userdifined fields using just a command
box and text box? Also, anywhere i can go to read more about it.
Thanks,

TextBox1 sounds like the name of a control on the form, not a custom field.

Ok, I figured out how to access the text box. NOW, I need to know how to
create user defined list box. My form has 4 list box that the user will be
adding data through and when they email it i want those fields to remain on
the form, but as it is right now, i dont seem to know how to make listbox
only text...

sub CommandButton1_Click()
Item.UserProperties("TextBox1") = "It Works"
End Sub

What do you mean by "adding data through" the list box and "make listbox
only text"?

Before you go too far down this road, you might want to make sure you can
meet the prerequisites for custom message forms:
