I have a task list in Outlook 2002, and I have a custom field (with
allow in-cell editing ON). I have thusfar entered the text manually in
the explorer window, but since a lot of the values I type are the same,
I would like to be able to make a combobox out of that.

For example, next to the "Subject" field, I have a custom "Status"
column that has a bunch of status possibilities (different from
Outlook's standard list)... I did this by naming the column "Status ",
because outlook wouldn't let me duplicate a field name. But since the
possible status's are limited to a list of like 9 values, I would rather
a combobox to reduce the amount of typing i have to do.

How can i do this? I am willing to write a custom form only as a last
resort... other people update this task list simultaneously from their
computers,... although it is extremely unlikely for two people to alter
the same thing at the same time. However, this problem makes designing
a form more tricky, and i do not want to spend a lot of time debugging a
new custom form for a combobox.
 
A custom form is the only method available to provide a drop-down list for a
custom field.
