Hi,

How can I bind a custom field or control to a specific
folder item?

Specifically, I need a button on a form that when
clicked, allows a user to choose from a predefined
contact list or address book. Not the default contacts,
but a custom contact list.

I need this functionality for categories also.

Thanks in advance - Daryl

You would have to write the code to loop through the items in that folder or
address list and build a combo box list of the data you want to see.

For categories, see http://www.slipstick.com/dev/olforms/reqcat.htm for a
sample form that might be helpful.
