Hi all, I want to customize the standard contact form.

I've gone through: New Contact - Tools - Forms - Design This Form.

I'm trying to change the caption for "Mobile" to "After Hours"

Every time I change it, click apply, click ok. It changes back to "Mobile"

It's just a caption right? I should be able to change it?

TIA

Al

No, it's not just a caption. The Phone Selector control has a lot of built-in
functionality that controls the caption. You would need to add the Mobile
field as a separate field with its own label control.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the
hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public
.outlook.program_forms

I've decided to go with the standard form, I'm not going to bother trying to
change mobile to after hours...too hard for anewbie like me :)
