Hi,

I am using a Date Time Picker in Outlook appointment page(2), it is bounded
to a field that has a Date/Time format. The problem is when I saved an
appointment with the date using Date Time Picker, it seems accepted the date
value, but when I reopen it the Date Time Picker does not populate the
fields value. From "design form" under "User Defined Field in This Item" I
can see the value in that Date field, but it is not associated to the
Control.

Could any one help me to solve this problem?

Thakns,
Sokrat.

In your item-open script, you must initialized the control.

I have tried to initialize the control with the date value from the item
fields, but the problem is the date time picker in placed on
MultiPage Control, when I try to set the value to the control on open event,
I get invalid property error. Here is a sample code I was using:

Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("Page(2)").DTPDate1.Value = _
Item.UserProperties("Date1")

Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("Page(2)").DTPDate2.Value = _
Item.UserProperties("Date2")

How could I refrence them if Date Time Picker are placed in multipage?

Thanks,
Sokrat

That is a nut that has plagued Outlook developers for a long time. If
your multipage control does not provide a new page event, and a page
index, then there is no clean way to do it.

What you might do is add a command button to the page, which, in its
click event, initializes the date-picker control from the field. Messy,
but it should work.
