Cannot edit form

[Guest]

Hi Everyone !

I wanted to create a new form based on Journal Entry, but when the form
opens in the designer I cannot edit anything on the General tab. Every button
is disabled on the toolbar except the Publish Form.
Could someone tell me what is happening here ?

Thanks,
Laszlo

That's normal. You must make your customizations of that form on the P.2 - P.6 pages.

Thanks Sue, but what is this then :

Look at the pictures...

The article illustrates a contact form, whose first page can be customized. No customization is possible on the first page of the journal form or indeed on any page on any form that contains a date/time picker.

Hi Sue,

thanks, though it sounds strange enough, at least explains the issue.
However, can you tell me the reason for it ? What happens if I customize a
form and place a datetimepicker on it ? No further customization will ever be
possible ?

The date picker that Outlook uses is not a control available to programmers. Therefore, no built-in page that contains such a control is customization. If you add your own date picker, of course, that's another matter.
