Display custom field on task pane

[Guest]

I have created a custom form for my contact information. Now I would like
for one of those custom fields to be displayed when I create a task for one
of these contacts. The task is already linked to the contact through the
name, but I can't seem to pull in any other information from the contact
form. Is this possible?

You would have to write code in a custom form or an Outlook add-in to return the linked contact, retrieve the value of the contact's field, and assign it to a property on the task item. For an example, see http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=566
