Hi, DMTechGroup.<br />
<br />
There are a couple of ways to approach this.<br />

<ol type="1">
<li>Create a custom appointment form. &nbsp;Add a tab to the form and lay the questions out on that form. &nbsp;The user go to that tab, fills the questions in, and code behind the form builds the subject line.</li>
<li>Create a custom appointment form. &nbsp;Write code in the ItemOpen event that prompts the user with the questions. &nbsp;As the user answers each question the subject line is built.</li>
<li>Write a macro that asks the questions and collects the answers. &nbsp;It then creates an appointment with the subject line already set.<br />
</li>
</ol>
Note that the first two both require creating a custom appointment form. &nbsp;There are downsides to that. &nbsp;For example, you'll have to switch the default appointment form on the computer of everyone who needs to use this. &nbsp;In other words, every appointment will use this. &nbsp;The third approach is indirect and does not require a custom appointment form. &nbsp;However, to use it you can't just double-click on the calendar or click the New button.<br />

<div>
It's a small office.. would be on 3 computers total.. I think I like item 2 the best...
</div>


<div>
Are you familiar with creating custom forms?<br />

</div>


<div>
Some.. I played with it some yesterday.. and the more I think about it Option 1 is a better solution.. we could go with the macro.. whichever is easiest.<br />
<br />
I am willing to create new questions as we progress so you are not bogged down and not properly rewarded. &nbsp;Thanks.
</div>


<div>
The macro is easiest. &nbsp;I can post the code for that very quickly.<br />

</div>


<div>
Ok.. lets try that and we can always change if needed. &nbsp;Thanks!

Very helpfull, thanks for your time!

We have a service business that uses outlook and ActiveSync with phones for the scheduling calendar. &nbsp;Here is what we want to happen.<br />
<br />
When you go to schedule an appointment for a customer the following questions are asked:<br />
<br />
Name<br />
Address<br />
City, St ZIP<br />
Phone<br />
Alt Phone<br />
CBA<br />
Make/Model<br />
Warranty<br />
Issue<br />
PT<br />
<br />
Once that information is entered it will actually then populate the Subject with:<br />
<br />
Name - Address - City St Zip - Phone - Alt Phone - Make/Model - Warranty - Issue - PT - CBA<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
Bob Smith - 123 Main St - Anytown, CA 90210 - 213-555-1212 - 213-444-1212 - GE Washer PSI234 - No - Not spinning - 1 - 30 minutes<br />
<br />
Any suggestions, help or advice is greatly appreciated. &nbsp;Thanks for you time.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
