Re: Field to hold names selected from AD

1) See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/selectnames.htm for an example of how to call the Select Names dialog to return a name. The page at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm shows how to set custom field values.

2) Depending on whether the row data is specific to the item (data record), the user, or the organization as a whole, you may want to store it in the item, a hidden message in the user's folders, a file on the user's machine, a hidden message in a public folder, a database, etc. You would then use the Item_Open event handler to run the code that reads the row data and populates the rows.
