Adding shared fields to a SharePoint calendar to sync with an Outlook calendar

Question

I have set up MOSS 2007 Enterprise with a calendar that I have added custom columns to. We have synced this calendar in Outlook, and it works great creating and editing events from either SharePoint or Outlook.

The issue is that I want to be able to add two extra fields to the New Event form in Outlook that I have added to the SharePoint Calendar. I went into Outlook's Form Designer. I go to the second tab to add the extra data fields, but I can't figure out how to be able to map to those two extra fields for the SharePoint calendar.

What's the best way to solve my problem?

Answer 1

hi jeremy, you can't do sync customized fields. I can programming this sync, using empty standard fields, like "mileage".
