I have created two custom forms for use in our firm. Each are
essentialy the same - they are tasks, and they now contain a second
tab with a simple sheet that we fill in boxes on as we sign off on the
task. I think I did everything the same on both.

We create these tasks by selecting action|new custom task. My
questions is this - one of the tasks will appear with a task icon, but
the other will apper with a message post icon (the one with the yellow
paper with a push pin in it). I can't for the life of me find where
to specify what type of form this should be. Can anyone help with
this?

Thanks in advance!
 
Set the icon on the last tab when in design mode.

Thanks! However, I think I have found the source of the difference.
On that tab where you define the icon (Properties) there is a checkbox
entitled "send form definition with item". This was checked for the
one task that used the correct icon. When I unchecked it, it also now
uses the wrong icon.

I have done a little reading, and it looks like we don't want that box
checked, so I have left it unchecked. We have had some irregularities
with these published forms in the past - could this check box be the
culprit?

Also, when I browse to find the icon, there are no icons there. Do
you happen to know where those files are kept?

Thanks again!
