I am updating a contact form and have a few questions
1. How do I create a Dropdown List and add the values?
2. Can I make fields “mandatory†and how? (Basically I want certain fields
filled out before the form can be saved.
3. I have several contacts that I want to transfer/export to my new form.
How can I do that?

Thank you.
 
1) See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formcontrols.htm#listcombo

2) Two methods -- enter a validation formula and prompt on the control's Validation tab in its Properties dialog or write code behind the form's Item_Write event handler.

3) You need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your new form's class. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...spx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms
