Required Attendees autocomplete

[G-ME]

Im trying to make a custom form for booking standard appointments we have
here.

On 1 of the tabs I would like a list of people eg. Designer, Manager ,
Reviewer etc with a button to lookup the GAL to find peoples names and add
them into the scheduling automatically. We can have different people
attending meetings but we must have 1 person minimum for each role.

The standard Required Attendees almost does what we require but it lists
everyone in the whole meeting. I am only wanting 1 person per role.

anyone know how to do this? I hope my description is clear enough.

Cheers

Your "roles" would have to managed separately from the meeting attendees. Outlook itself provides no way to distinguish attendees beyond required, optional, and resource. You can use the Item_Send event handler to check whether all roles have been filled and cancel the Send if they haven't by setting Item_Send = False.

I would suggest using a multiple column list box with a hidden column containing each person's mailbox alias or SMTP address. Use the data in that column to populate the attendees list.
