Outlook 2003 - Custom Templates for Public Folders

[Foodbank]

Hi,

Recently, I have discovered and made use of the ability to create
custom templates for entries into public folders. At our
organization, we use them solely as calendars to illustrate to staff
that, for example, John has a meeting at 10:00a, Sally is out of the
office, etc. However, I would like to have the data entered into my
custom forms displayed on the calendar. For example, by default, when
data is entered into the "Subject" of the public folder, the
information is displayed on the calendar for viewing. However, none
of my custom fields will show this data as the "Subject" field does.
Is there any way to do this with custom templates?

Thank you.

You'd need to put the data you want displayed into the Subject property.

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
