Custom Fields in Custom Outlook Forms

$

Good Day, Everyone:

I am attempting to create my first-ever custom form in Outlook 2003. I have most of my fields working correctly/ sending and receiving fine. However, I am still battling three problems:

(1) I cannot seem to create  yes/no toggle box. Every time I think I have it correct and I run the form, the toggle selection disappears after sending. What am I doing incorrectly???


(2) I am also trying to format a "formula" field to calculate the difference in time between two fields (in other words, if Field1 = 7:00 AM and Field2 = 8:00 AM, I want the formula field to display "1 hour" or "1:0" or "60 minutes" --- anything really). However, none of my formulas are working.

My current formula reads: Time Value ([Field2]) - Time Value ([Field1]). (Field type = formula, Property = value)

What am I doing incorrectly???

(3) Lastly, I am attempting to create a combination field as the "subject" line, and thus have created a new field for it. I would like to link a date field, a drop-down text field and a constant text ("k").

However, currently, the field only displays the date field and the constant. [missing the drop-down text]. Furthermore, my date field is being displayed (only in the subject, not in the actual field) as a date and time.

For a literal example, I wish for outlook to pull the current date from "FieldD" as 02-20-13, the currently selected drop-down text form "FieldE" as text and the constant words"All OK."

Thus far, I have the field as a "type"= combination, "property" = value, and the "initial value" = [FieldD] [FieldE] "All OK".

As such, I receive something akin to this: 02-20-13 11:11:11 AM All OK.

 

Please let me know if you have any solutions. I am very much a self-taught beginner and appreciate an input. Thanks!
