drop down for custom field

[djc]

I have NEVER used outlook as anything other than an email client so this is
a dumb question. I want to add a custom field for contacts (which I have
done fine) but I want the user to select 1 of 3 options from a dropdown box.
I am comfortable programming vba and vbscript but I have never done it for
Outlook. I don't even know how to get the the vb window to try to access
help.

I probably don't even need to access the vb window to do what I want but I
would like to know how anyway.

anyone?

When you are in Design Mode of your form, there is a button in one of the
toolbars, that has a sort of white blob, like a comic balloon, only it might
be sort of shaped like a terminal screen (all sort of subjective here, I
know), click that and the Editor window pops up, and F2 gives you the Object
browser.
