Weird advanced find behavior with custom forms

In advanced find under the advanced tab, there is a place
to add criteria for your search. I am wanting to use
fields that are in my custom forms, but none of these
fields show up in OL 2003. They work fine in OL 2002 and
previous.

I did get one machine to work. I did an upgrade from 2002
to 2003 and 2003 showed all the custom fields. However, i
tried the upgrade on another machine and it did not show
the custom fields.

What am I doing wrong here? Any help is greatly
appreciated.
 
Are the fields all defined in the folder you're searching? In other words,
can you add them to the view?
 
Yes, They are all there, the custom forms work fine, its
only when you go to search that the field names do not
show up. And only in OL2003
 
If i do a search i cannot add the fields to the view
either, I wasn't clear on that in my first reply. Its
like i need to turn something on to be able to use the
fields. It doesn't make sense.

Its really weird that i got 1 computer with OL2003 to work
and no others.
 
Try adding the field to the folder. Right-click the column headings in a
table view for that folder, choose Field Chooser, then click New to add the
fields to that folder.
