I'm using a custom appointment form with a shared calendar in Outlook 2007.
When I scroll over the calendar, I get a popup that shows dates and location.
Could I get the popup to also show one or two of the fields from the custom
form? Thanks in advance.

No, the behavior of the screen tip is not programmable. To see custom field
information in the screen tip, you'd have to copy that data to the Location
property.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the
hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm....program_forms

Thanks. Are there any other fields, other than date/time and location, that
show in a screen tip?

Subject sows, but I think that if you add data to every standard field,
you'llsee that those are the only ones displayed.
