Custom Forms - Hiding the First Tab

Hi everyone,

I designed a variant of the task form to accomodate tracking of specific
steps involved in my more common/repetitive tasks. However, since one
cannot modify the main page, the information I need had to be created on the
second tab. But when I open the form, I must always click on the second
tab, whether I am creating a new task or modifying an existing one. Is
there a way to tell the form to hide the first tab. I thought there was
this functionality when I designed the form, but it doesn't seem to be
working. Just wondering if I am doing something wrong, or if there is
another method for hiding the form, and making my newly created fields the
primary for display.

Thanks for your help,

Tom

In Outlook 2003 form design, toggle the Form | Display This Page command, then republish the form.
