Outlook for dummies (or beginners)

[Karen]

I am trying for the first time to dabble in the design form feature of Outlook 2003.

Previously I've worked extensively with Access and find now that I was really spoiled by the forms design interface.

I added a combobox to an Appointment form on the second page and tried to select Contacts>>FullName as the value. I get the following error message 'The property does not exist. The field you want to modify is not valid for this type of item'. If I can't even figure out how to add a combobox and put values in it then I can't imagine to customize some of the Outlook forms.

I could do it with VBA but, quite frankly, I don't know what to query--what is the Outlook database called?

You'd probably be better off asking this in an Outlook newsgroup. They start
microsoft.public.outlook

Yep,

Didn't want to post here at all. At least I complemented Access!!
