How can i make controls like DataCombo or DBCombo work on outlook
forms?
I need to create some forms that should  be filled in using data from
MS SQL database. In vb i successfully use DataCombo, but in outlook
forms some properties of this control are unavalible and other
properties do not wor for me. Where can i get any examples to look at?
I installed "Student attendance" form from Microsoft site, but it only
uses a simple combobox and a silly method of populating it with data -
no good for me.

That sort of thing usually never works and you end up having to write your
own SQL code in VBScript to get and work with whatever recordsets you need
for your data.
