MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / October 2006Customized Task form not saving data
I've created a form based on Task Request.IPM by adding an extra page which includes checkboxes, optionbuttons, and text boxes. The form seems to work fine, but once it is reopened, page 2 (the added page) is there but entries have cleared. I can't get the custom page to print, either. The default page retains data no problem. Our IT people have not been able to devote any time to this. i suspect that it could be a permissions issue, but am at an impasse. Any suggestions? Is every control on page 2 bound to an Outlook property on the Value tab of the control's Properties dialog? If not, then Outlook doesn't know where to store the data.

I had to drag myself up another level on the learning curve, but the form now retains entries, with a minor exception that I'll work on. The form does print, but I get values (0, -1, etc.) instead of the nice graphics I had on the custom page. Can you suggest a path that will enable me to print out a page that has a similar look to my custom page? Can I do this in Outlook, or will this require an export to Access or Excel? > Is every control on page 2 bound to an Outlook property on the Value tab of the control's Properties dialog?

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customprint.htm for various solutions to the limitation that Outlook forms don't support WYSIWYG printing. The Word template technique is the most flexible and highly recommended.
