Outlook Custom form and advanced find

[dh]

When I do an advanced find (right click on a folder, select Advanced Find,
and select ADVANCE tab. Under Define more Criteria, press the FIELD button.
Select a custom form and the individual fields on that form, SHOULD show up
on a custom form, sometimes the field show up), and other times the form
name is there and EMPTY shows up.
Any idea what causes this?
Thanks

It probably has something to do with where the fields are actually defined
(see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/fields.htm). To search in Advanced Find,
the fields need to be defined in the folder, so that they're visible in the
User-defined Fields in Folder list.
