Custom Actions and Form Fields

[dch3]

I want to create custom actions for calendar items so that when you click on
an item in my calendar you'll have options such as 'Send Related Message' or
'Create Related Task' AND have information automatically pulled from the
original item into the new item. How would I go about accomplishing this?

You would define custom actions on the (Actions) page of the form, then add code to the CustomAction event handler to create the related items. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms/contfax.htm for an example.

I downloaded the zip file and opened the form, however there is no 'FAX' tab
as stated in the readme.html file.

Did you load the form into design mode by using the Tools | Forms | Design This Form command?
