MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / May 2008Outlook Task Template - Search Function
I created a custom TASK template and put it into production for 20 users. The "search" function does not look at the new fields I added to the template. How can I point the search function to my template?  SignatureWayne Which "search function" are you referring to? There are at least two, depending on your Outlook version, which you also need to mention. Were the fields added to the folder or just to the form? Generally, they need to be added to the folder, through the folder's Field Chooser, if you're doing it manually.

How can I point the search function to my template? The "search function" I am referring to is the one within the TASK view, at the top of the page. It allows you to search within a list of Tasks. The fields were added to the form. I also added them to the "list view" of Tasks, which I think you refer to with the "field chooser". Does that make sense?

How can I point the search function to my template? You'll need to use Advanced Find to search for data in custom fields in Outlook 2003. Outlook 2007, OTOH, with Instant Search installed should search for custom fields using the find feature at the top of the view.
