Are you able to publish forms to the Organizational Forms library on your
Exchange Server? If not, your chances of getting a custom task request form
to work are very slim. Even if you can, task forms are quirky; see

By "how to command it," do you mean how to launch the form? Publish it to
the Organizational Forms library, then use the Tools | Forms | Choose Form
command.

You have to write VBScript code behind the form to fill the combo box rows
from the appropriate data source. See
