EMAIL field on Custom Outlook Form

[Guest]

I have created a custom Outlook form. I want to include 3 fields for email1, email2 and email3. When I create these fields and assign the Contact.email fields to them, thay show as read-only. How do I remove the RO attribute so that I can enter data, (I do not want to use the selector fields). THANKS

You should instead drag the fields from the Field Chooser. They'll be ready
to edit. [The email fields actually store 3 separate properties, so you need
to use the special controls from the Field Chooser or use unbound controls.]

I am trying to reference the first of these "3 separate properties" (1st
E-mail address) when I am customising an Outlook Contact Form using VBScript.
On the form the field is called "E-mail Selected". In the Object Browser in
VBA I can you please tell me what is the object name of this?

As you should be able to see in the object browser, Email1Address will get you the email address of the first of the three address entries.
