XCLN: Making Fields Required and Locked or Hidden (129138)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q129138 SUMMARY
When you use Microsoft Exchange Forms Designer to create a form, you can
set the properties of a field to be Required, Locked, or Hidden. Take
caution not to set a field to be Required and then also set it to be Locked
or Hidden. This could result in problems when the form is run. (The user is
required to enter data in a field but cannot because the field is locked or
hidden.) Only one of these combinations should be used when you plan to add
code to the form using Microsoft Visual Basic to properly fill in the
Required field.
MORE INFORMATION
When you design a form, you can write Microsoft Visual Basic version 4.0
code that correctly fills in a field set as Required. For example, this
could include a calculation of other fields or data retrieved from another
source. Therefore, the field could be locked or hidden, which would limit
the user's ability to modify the calculated field.
The Required, Locked, and Hidden properties are set within the Field
Properties dialog box in Microsoft Exchange Forms Designer.
