Hi All

Been setting up a new Public FOlder Task form over the last few weeks and
just noticed that if you use the "Look for" (Find) the text searches only
the default fields but not in the custom fields I have created. Is this
normal ? Is there anyway to get it to search the custom fields?

Cheers
Paul

Yes, that's normal. If you want to search custom fields, you need to make
sure they're defined in the folder and then use Advanced Find to specify
which field to search.
