Actually, you've given me just enough information to work some of the answer
out myself. I feel empowered now! ;-) So, instead of the questions
before, could you help me with these?...

I still think the field chooser makes it difficult to view each field if
many are added. Do you agree, Sue?

I understand the "read layout" design process now.

I understand how to designate the default "reply to folder" form now.

I have some fields in "User defined" and some in the form. However, I
thought that I created all fields in exactly the same way. Do you know how
I did this, and whether there is any advantage in using one rather than the
other in some situations?

Again, thank you very much, Sue - you're a star!

See my response to your other post on this issue.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/fields.htm for best practices on field
creation. There is a difference!
