MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2006can you have user difined date/calader fields in OL2003
I am customizing a form for my business contacts. IN OL2003..can I use user defined date/time/calendar fled other than the supplied birthday..anniversary fields, etc. I think in 2000 you are limited to these fields only without customized programming...(which I am not) can I add a calendar feature to a user defined filed in a contact form ? Thanks, Tim R If you want another field that works like Birthday and Anniversary to create new calendar items automatically, you would have to write code behind the custom form to add that functionality. That applies to all versions of Outlook.

As I said...I'm not a "coder" but may be able to figure this out ?

The code that Outlook uses internally would be quite different from the VBScript code that you might write behind a custom form or the VBA code you might write if you want to monitor the Calendar folder for new items.
