Renaming an outlook form

**prasanna_jayakumar@y** · Oct 7th, 2005, 01:21 PM

A basic outlook "contact" form in design mode has the title "Untitled - contact" ... while we publish the form if we give name for form as "New" ... we can see "untitled - New" being displayed ... I want to know how to remove "untitled" and put something else there

The Untitled reflects the name of the contact item. If its not saved then its Untitled. As soon as you enter a fullname in for the contact it will change. Perhaps prepopulate the full name when creating your contact item.

thanks for that ... The "untitled - contact" becomes "untitled - New" only in design mode ... when we run the form or run the .oft it again show "Untitled - contact" .. can u help me with this

Are you doing this from the Published forms library? I dont have Exchange set up here.

**prasanna_jayakumar@y** · Oct 7th, 2005, 01:57 PM

yes i am publishing them in Personal Forms library only ... it showsup in design mode after i publish but not in run or .oft mode

I remember now. I think its when you go to publish the form you get an option to specify the Display name for the form.

i tried giving display name as new but still have the same problem

**prasanna_jayakumar@y** · Oct 7th, 2005, 02:26 PM

pls help me to remove "contact" from output window

**RobDog888** · Oct 7th, 2005, 02:37 PM

You mean like this but with the Untitled in there too still?

**RobDog888** · Oct 7th, 2005, 02:42 PM

You need to choose a name when you Publish the form and designate a class.
I screwed up on the class but you get the idea.

**prasanna_jayakumar@y** · Oct 7th, 2005, 02:42 PM

yes ur rite .. thats what i want ... i know how to remove untitled .. i can tell u how to do that if u wud like to know

**RobDog888** · Oct 7th, 2005, 02:47 PM

Here is some basic VB Script that will run when the form is opened.

VB Code:

Function Item_Open()
    MsgBox "w00t"
End Function

Ok, how do you change the title?

**prasanna_jayakumar@y** · Oct 7th, 2005, 03:01 PM

there is a field called "File As" .. when u type some value in it and save it for the first time it gets saved in ur Mailbox contacts with the respective name

**RobDog888** · Oct 7th, 2005, 03:04 PM

Thats similar to my post #2 but I was hoping for a way without saving. Like when I posted to populate the Fullname field it will change the untitled to that name. It might be nice to have it just with the form name only "VB-Guru" without the "Untitled - VB-Guru" part.

**RobDog888** · Oct 7th, 2005, 04:30 PM

If you set the FileAs field to a value it will not change the title. also when you click off of it it will delete itself until you fill-in the FullName property.
