MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / February 2004Assigning a field as the control source through VBS
I would like to assign a field as the control source to a txtbox using vbs. I can't figure out what the property is called that binds it. ie txtbox.what?? = fieldname Thanks Carol > I would like to assign a field as the control source to a txtbox using vbs. > I can't figure out what the property is called that binds it. ie > txtbox.what?? = fieldname Actually, the name is set by default when you create the control. You can rename it by right-clicking it in design mode, and choosing properties. You bind it by using the Bindery feature of the New control GUI. I don't know how binding is done programmatically. Hollis D. Paul [MVP - Outlook] Hollis@outhousebythesound.com Using Virtual Access 4.52 build 277 (32-bit), Windows 2000 build 2195 http://search.support.microsoft.com/kb/c.asp?FR=0&SD=TECH&LN=EN-US Mukilteo, WA USA Thanks for your reply. I guess I wasn't clear enough in my post. I know how to name a control and bind it using the Gui. I didn't want to assign a new name to the control. Is there no property of a control that is used to bind it to a field? In Access it is called control.controlsource. There must be some way that Outlook binds it.

Also, Outlook 2003 introduces a new Inspector.SetControlItemProperty method. I presume it also one-offs.

I'm very new to Outlook so I imagine I'll be looking for more help. It's much appreciated.
