Tasks - custom form

[Squid]

I am trying to create a custom form for a task object.
The form consists of several checkboxes, which I would use
as a checkoff for each individual task step I need to
perform (e.g. process AP, checks signed, checks mailed).

I created that form, and tested it. I check specific
boxes then save & close the task. When I reopen the task,
all the checkboxes are empty.

How do enable the form to save items I checked?

Thanks
Mike

New to creating forms, I used the default selection... didnt realize until
now that button.

Where can I find examples on how to do this? I would assume this form is as
simple as it gets.

Did you try what I suggested? All you have to do is go to
the Value tab on the control's Properties dialog and use
the Choose Field or New button.

Ok, I see now. I was working in advanced properties.
Just for my knowledge... were/how are these values stored?

Sue:

I actually have 15 rows and 4 columns of checkboxes.
Would there be an easier way for me to do this? Versus
creating 60 fields?

That's the point. The values you were entering were *not*
being stored, because you didn't tell Outlook where to
store them.

Depends on what you want. You can take the easy way out
and add a field for each control. Or you can write code
to aggregate the data from the controls and stuff it all
into one proprety in the Item_Write event, then read it
out again in the Item_Open event.
