Either include it in your newsgroup post or post a URL to the file.
Also note: The newsgroup interface you are using apparently does not
quote
earlier messages in the thread, making your latest message so short on
detail that you risk not getting the answer you're looking for. Please
take
the time to quote the original message.

Thank you so
much,

I have created a custom contact form using the standard
address field,
selector button etc. (same as on standard 2002 contact
form).
My problem is this, when I run the form and type in an
address THEN
click the address selector button, the "Address Selected"
box doesn't
retain the address that I already typed nor does it retain
the "other"
address. I have compared the properties and advanced
properties between
the standard contact form and my custom form and I'm not
seeing any
difference.
Any ideas what I could be overlooking?
Thank you so much,
Sandy

You have to click the address selector button first. The idea is that
you
tell Outlook that you're displaying the Home address, then you type in
the
home address; you're displaying the Other address, then you type in the
Other address; etc.
If this doesn't explain the issue, please provide exact steps to
reproduce
the problem.

Step by step:
Open New Contact, fill in name etc. Click in the Address
box (where the address is physically typed). The default
is Business Address and MailingAddressCheckbox is checked.
Type in Address per usual, then click on
AddressSelectorButton to choose "Home" for next address,
box clears text for new info. Click on
AddressSelectorButton again to go back to "Business"
address and all text is gone. The text box for Address did
not retain the address for Business nor for Home.

ALSO, if I only type one address and Save and Close, when
I open the contact again, the address is gone.

You said this is a custom form, right? What field is the box where
you're
typing the address bound to? It should be Address Selected.

Yes, it says Address Selected in the
Properties/Value/Field and Format of Control/Choose Field
box. Is there another way to make sure it is bound
properly?
thanks,

That's the right place. I can't duplicate the problem, unfortunately,
with
the controls on the General page of a custom contact form. I have seen
some
different anomalies if those controls are on a different page, though.
Is it possible that you have some code running behind the form that
would
account for these symptoms?
