Custom Views missing custom form data when deployed

T

Tomk

I am using Outlook 2002 to create a CRM solution. I have created a
custom form that adds about 10 custom fields. I have made this custom
form the default form for the Contacts folder. I have manually
created 5 views on my development machine. I have exported the XML of
the views to separate files so I can script the installation of the
views on the other client systems. the scripting reads each XML file
in turn and uses the Views.Add methods to create the view.

The problem I have is that once the views are deployed to other
machines, the custom fields appear blank. The actual contact item has
the proper information in the custom fields. I have compared the XML
of the views on the source and target machines.

I have even deleted all of the custom views on my own system and ran
the script to regenerate the views and the behavior is the same ...
blank custom fields. The XML is identical before and after on my
machine as well.

How can I get the view.xml to recognize the custom fields?

Thanks. tom
