appointment form

[ArtThib]

when you open up a new appointment the first line is "subject", I would like
that to be a drop down that lets me pick one of my contacts or enter a new
name, also the "location" field should allow Microsoft Streets and Maps
locate it for you, or Map Point, I have Streets and maps

The first page of the appointment form is not customizable. You'd have to do
all that on an additional, custom page or in Outlook 2007, on a form region
with an add-in running the code.

I am running 2007, not sure what you mean "add-in running the code"?

An add-in is a type of application tightly integrated with Outlook that can
handle the display of form regions and also provide the code support needed
to populate a drop-down list and interface with Streets and Maps (assuming
it has some kind of programmability). Building and deploying an add-in is
not a trivial matter, but there are good tools and forums to help; see
