MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming VBA / December 2006Linking Outlook fields from the "Contact Folder" to a custom form in Outlook...
Using Exchange Server 2003/Outlook 2003, we have created a custom Help Desk form in Outlook. We would like the ability to link specific fields from the Contacts Folder, in a drop-down list box if possible. We are far from knowing that something like this is even possible. Would appreciate *any* suggestions. Thank you. It's certainly possible to fill a list box with data from any Outlook folder, but what you mean by "link" isn't clear.

You can use code in the form (VBScript only) to read any properties you want from a folder and populate drop-downs with the retrieved values.
