Hello there,

when I right-click in calendar view, I can create a meeting with one of the
forms selected in the context menu. That entry would start at the time where
I had my mouse pointing too.

Is it possible to add own form into the context menu which would act the
same way?
How would I do this?

Thanks for any pointer

regards
Dan
 
You would need to set it as the default form for that folder. Right click
on the folder, select properties, use the dropdown to select the form to use
when posting to this folder.

Thanks Milly,

That was indeed the only way I was able to make it work.. it's just that I
can't do that. I need both forms, the original and the adapted one.

Then, when in that folder, use Tools->forms->Choose form to select the
alternate form. No other way around it. You can only have one default form
to use in any folder. You will have to select an alternate form. The right
click context menu will always default to the default form.

An easier way, if the form is published to the folder and you are in the
folder, is to select it from the Actions menu - it will be on the very end.

ah.. got it...
and if I select the time first in calendar view, it will even be prepared in
the form already.
great! thanks a lot, Diane.

hmm.. unfortunately, that form does not appear in the customize section
"Action" to be dragged onto the toolbar. Do I have access to that from
somewhere?
