Adding custom fields as columns in the current view

[Simon Gray]

We have created a custom form for our contacts (in a public folder). We would
like one of the fields on this form listed as a column on the initial view of
the folder. When we add it in, however, it doesn't appear and when you go
back and look at the list of fields you have chosen - it's been removed.
I am doing 'customize current view > fields > add > selecting the customer
form > selecting the field' and it lists it ok. I have owner access to the
public folder and we are running Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2003 under Sbs2003.

Any help appreciated

Simon

Instead of selecting the form, click New and create a new field definition in the folder.
