Sorting on custom field + custom form

[Guest]

Hi all

I have a couple of questions, I'm usingh outlook 2000

1) Sorting on a custom field. I have a custom field that I use with a specific custom form. I have placed that field in the view of my messages folder. When I sort ascending on that field, those messages not based on the form and thus have no
value for that custom field are sorted to the top ie. blanks first. Is there anyway to change this so that the blanks are at the bottom, but still sorting ascending

2) I would like to add a datepicker for a due date fiedl to my custom form, I have tried the MS DTPicker 6.0 and the ccrpDtp6, but both have limitations, for example unable to select no date (none), MS DTPicker not defaulting to current date etc.
One option I have is to use the Due By field that works with "Flag or Follow Up", what I would like to know is, is there a way to insert a button control into the form that brings up the "Flag or Follow Up" dialog box? I know this flag toolbar button is part of a form, but I would like to have a custom button on the form itself

Thanks in advance

A blank would sort that way. You could add some character to a blank
field that would force it to sort higher up in the sort order.

You can get the button you want as a CommandBarButton object and use
the button's Copy method to copy it to where you want.

For a DTPicker you can set it in the form's Open event handler to have
the starting date you want.
