When I create outlook 2002 email forms with user-dfined
date fields, they always print showing the date AND 8:00
AM. Vice versa for user-defined time fields. They print
show time AND today's date. I have made sure that the
fields' values are set to the 11/26/2003 format and do not
include the additional values, but they show up anyway.
Any ideas how to remove the additional values when
printing (memo style) custom forms.

The problem is you defined the field as a date-time field, and then
just changed the formatting of the field in the form display to
suppress the display of the time values on the screen. That display on
the screen has nothing to do with the memo-style printing of the form.

What you have to do is use a text field, get your date/time value from
where-ever you get it now, and then just move the date part string into
the text field. If you still want to store the date/time value in the
item, then you want to set the field to be non-printing. AFAIK, any
field not set to No Print will be listed in the Memo-style print-out.
