Where is the "All Contact Fields" field set???
I am attempting to add a State field however I receive a notice saying - "A
field with this name already exists in the 'all contact fields' field set. Enter a different name." I tried going to properties and then choose field but i can't seem to find the all contact fields field set. Does anyone have any ideas? |

Re: Where is the "All Contact Fields" field set???
It should be there -- along with All Task Fields, All Appointment Fields, etc.

Re: Where is the "All Contact Fields" field set???
I thought is should be there also but these are the only ones there -
frequently used fields, address fields, date/time fields, all document fields, all mail fields, user defined fields in Inbox, and forms.

Re: Where is the "All Contact Fields" field set???
Exactly where are you looking? What kind of form are you working on?

Re: Where is the "All Contact Fields" field set???
I created a combo box that I was going to use for states. It is a message
form. I rt clicked on the combo box -> properties -> value tab -> choose field. Are different fields available for different form types?

Re: Where is the "All Contact Fields" field set???
With rare exceptions, you can't use a field from one kind of form on another kind of form. The solution in your case is probably to create a new custom property.
