I'm creating a custom contact form, and I know I've done this before, I just
can't remember how.  Here's what I need it to do, when my checkbox is True,
then it enables a combobox next to it to make choices, then if that's
selected a textbox enables.  Going crazy!

Whether you use the CustomPropertyChange event or the control's Click event depends on whether the control is bound to an Outlook property. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm

Everything is bound, I'm just not sure if they are bound the correct field.

Well, that should be easy enough to check, right?

Yeah, you would think, but still working on this.  I really thought I knew
what I was doing, but it's just not happening.  Do I bind them to the same
field?  They all work, but they are all active all the time, I want them to
become active only if the checkbox is checked.

Each separate piece of information that you want OUtlook to store needs to have its own field.
