Hello all!

I know that when viewing a contact, you can see/add user-defined
fields, on the "All Fields" tab. I was wondering if this is also
possible for a Journal Entry form.

Yes.

OK, my bad, I got a very precise answer to a very precise question

Actually, I wanted to know how it's done and I also wanted to know if
accomplishing this involves writing code or modifying the design of
the Journal Entry form(making in it, in fact, a custom form).

I've also ordered your book, "Microsoft Outlook Programming -
Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers" and I am
waiting for it to be delivered, but in the meantime, I have to try to
advance without it...

Thanks!

No code required. You can add user-defined fields on the fly to a folder
view and with in-cell editing turned on, enter data in those fields in the
view itself. Or you can create a custom form -- see
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms.htm

Be sure you download the book's sample code from the web site.

Well, first I found out that I can't create user-defined fields when
attempting to modify the current view. So I created a new one and I
did get the option of creating a user-defined field. But, after I
created the user-defined field and I tried to save the new view, I got
this message: "Outlook cannot correctly save the view. Any change you
made to the view may be lost. You do not have permission to create or
change a view that is visible to everyone in this folder. You can only
create or change views that are visible only to you."
I went to the Network Admin and he changed my permissions for this
public folder to "Owner", but I still get this message.
What kind of rights do I need and where do I need them, so that I can
create a view available to everyone in that folder?

Thanks!

P.S. In the "Teamfolders" newsgroup, someone had almost the exact same
problem and I posted a much smaller post in that thread too, but here
I am giving the full details...

Owner permission should be sufficient. It can take a couple of hours for the
permission to fully propagate, so maybe trying again (perhaps after an
Outlook restart) will do it.
