Hi,
I am validating some controls on my outlook form for
proper data. The problem i have is, how do i get the
focus back on the control where no/invalid data is
entered after firing a massage box. I have written my
code in the Item_Write event. Another issue is, how do i
remove the default value "None" on a DateTime field
control. Even if i remove it from the Advanced Properties
setting.. it still comes back and the setting is not
saved... Any help regarding the same would be
appreaciated.

Thanks in advance

You'd use the SetFocus method on the control. Unfortunately, sometimes it just doesn't work.

You cannot remove the default "None" on a date/time field, because Outlook always stores some value there.
