Default One-click populate form with info from Contact Item

Hi, I'm interested in seeing if I can populate a form (in an Organizational
Forms Library) with data from Contacts using a single-click.

The form has standard information in it like name, company, address, etc..
Currently, I have to open a Contact item, then cut and paste one piece of
information after the other over to the form. There must be a simpler way!

Thanks for your help.

It sounds like this is something that could be done with code behind the published form. THe details, of course, will depend on exactly what you're trying to do and with which contact. The information on Outlook property syntax at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm might be helpful.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...rogram_f orms
