Accessing custom fields in Outlook with VBA

I'm new to vba in Outlook so this may seem like a simple thing to do, but I
haven't been able to figure it out. We're using a custom appointment form in
Outlook 2003. It has a dropdown box, checkbox and some textboxes. I have
figured out how to create an appointment in a public folder (from Excel
using VBA) that uses this form, but I would like to programatically populate
the fields in this custom form. I would appreciate it if someone could post
some code that updates the fields in a custom form to get me started.

Thanks in advance,
Ralph Fraley

Thanks Sue; that's what I needed to get me going with this.
