Create Field for form with drop down menu

[Guest]

I have created a form (based on tasks) with some new fields. For ones of the
fields when the user enters data on the form, I would prefer them to select
from the possible entries available by clicking on a drop down menu. To work
in the same way as Status with Not Started, In Progress, Completed etc etc.
on the Task page.

Is this possible or do I have to leave free for any text entry?

Where? In the folder view? On a custom form page?

On the Advanced Properties dialog for the combo box control, set MatchRequired to True.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...spx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms

Couldn't find the MatchRequired variable at first, but found it after I found
the combo box control in the Control Toolbox. It works a treat, many thanks.
