I HAVE CREATED A CUSTOM TASK FORM, AND I AM USING A STANDARD FIELD CALLED
"CONTACTS". IT'S THE ONE YOU CAN SELECT LINKS TO A CONTACT. IT DISPLAYS THE
NAME OF THE CONTACT AND I WANT TO DISPLAY THE COMPANY NAME. IS THERE ANY WAY
OF CHANGING THIS FIELD TO DISPLAY THIS INFO.

THANKS,
JASON
 
No. And please turn off your Caps Lock key. It's hard to read the shouting.

The Contacts field always displays the Full Name field.
 
sorry about the caps, it is required for a program of mine. anyway do you
have any sugjestions on creating a field to inclued the company name in my
form?

thanks,
jason
 
You could put code in the Write event handler to check the Item.Links
collection, look up any linked contact, and put its CompanyName value into a
task property. For a VBA version of this technique, see
