I was searching the Discussion Group database on customizing the appointment
form, and came across a reply from Sue Mosher with links to the website
www.outlookcode.com.  The website stated that you cannot customize the first
page of the appointment form.

Would someone please confirm this information?

Thank you.

Consider it confirmed. The same is true for any other standard page that contains a date/time picker.

You cannot customize the first page of the form.  However, you can copy and
paste the first page onto the second page, then hide the first page and
customize the second page!

No, that's not possible. Since the first page is not editable, it can't be copied either. You would have to manually build a second page to duplicate the first page, rather a tall order since Outlook provides no Outlook-aware date/time picker to developers.

You are right, of course, I see you can only copy and past the first page of
the Contact form, which does not include the date picker control.  Though
you could probably find a date picker control on the web and add it to your
form.

... and install it on every user's machine and deal with a myriad of problems because it wasn't designed with the same features that Outlook had on its private control.
