I cannot modify a form

[Guest]

Hello
I have a question. I am running Exchange 2000 SP3 and Outlook 2002 SP3.
I went to design a form. Under the Standard Form Library I selected the
task form. I then published the form to another public folder that I had
created and that I am the owner of. When I go to edit the form, I can edit
all of the tabbed pages, except the main one (named Tasks). Is there a way I
can modify this one?

Thanks.

No. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/taskform.htm for other task form quirks and limitations.

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

Thank you. Oh, one more question. If I publish a form to a public folder
and I choose the option to only use that form for the folder, there will not
be any problems with tasks created in the public folder with another form
(even though I am viewing it with this other form)? For example, if there
are more fields on the new form, they will just show up without data in them,
right?

Thanks in advanced.

If you want both forms to be allowed in that folder, you should specify that on the folder's Properties dialog.
