I created a custom page for the Appointment form in Calendar. I added new
fields to capture additional info. I saved the form as an .oft (Office
template) file and emailed it to a cohort. We published the form to his
calendar and made it the default form. When we tried to create a View of the
calendar that showed all of the data in a table format, only a few of the
User Defined Fields in the form were available to include in the view. Where
are all the rest of the fields hiding? Is there a way to make them all
available (resident) in the Calendar folder? Thank you kindly.
 
The fields are defined only in the form and in the items created with the form. Publishing a form to a folder does *not* create any user-defined fields in the folder. You can add those manually.
 
Good Morning, Sue.

In the interest of your time, and mine, please answer this follow up
question and a couple more:
1. How do I, as you said, manually add the fields from my form into Kevin's
folder so he can create a calendar view that include all the fields?
2. Please tell me there's a way to do all the fields (about 60 of them) at
once.
3. Teach a man to fish! Where do you recommend I go to learn how fields get
associated with forms and folders?
Thank you (and bless you!) Sue.
 
1) Right-click the column headings in the table view, choose Field Chooser, click Add.

3) See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/fields.htm

2) Write code using the UserProperties.Add method. There's a link to that page to sample code.
