Form Design how to add a date selector connected to scheduler

[RobGMiller]

Outlook 2003.

In a contact template form, a custom date field with a calendar control is
required.

This would be similar to the down arrow besides the birthdate or aniversary
fields in the details tab of the standard contacts form. The date and time
entered in the scheduler would be specific to this new field.

Incidentally, is it possible to modify the "Details" tab?


Thanks in advance.

In versions before Outlook 2007, Outlook has no date picker control available to programmers (which, by the way, is one reason why the first page of the appointment, journal, and task forms is not editable). See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/datepick.htm for controls you can add.

Outlook 2007 includes its own Outlook-aware date and time picker controls for use with the new form regions feature.

No page with a date/time picker is editable.

Thanks for your reply Sue,

I kind of figured that there was no built in control available. Have not
looked at 2007 yet, but soon, if I can find the time.

They also need to adjust the notice time and I did find some code on your
web site to that effect. I will look at the controls you now suggest.

Thanks again..
