Re: link new field command button to contacts

The ContactItem object has only one place to store such links -- in the Links collection. All you've done is duplicated the controls related to that linking data. You cannot change this behavior.

You will need to rethink how you want to provide selections in your form. What many people do is use combo boxes.

If you want to create appointments, you will need to write code behind the form to create them, starting with the Application.CreateItem method.
You will have to work out some other way to

I am designing a custom contact form. In the form I copied in multiple
command buttons with contacts as the field so when you click on the button it
links to my contacts list and I can select a contact to store in that field.
The problem is when I click on the button and I pull in the contact it saves
the same contact in all of the command button fields that I have set up. I am
pretty new to custom forms and I have the basics figured but I am stuck on
this one issue. The form itself is to track real estate clients and all the
parties involved in the transaction, so I have multiple command buttons that
link to my contacts so I can pull in the Title Company / mortgage company/
real estate agents etc. How do I individualize each field so it won't
populate the same information to every command button field?

concerning the calender/appointment I installed date picker controls for say
birthdays and important dates. I was wandering if there is a way to link
those automatically to my calender so it sets up a reminder?
Thanks for your help
