<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt"><font face=Calibri>I have followed a good tutorial on adding a custom task pane to outlook e-mails (shows and allows the task pane to be toggled), now I want to populate dropdown boxes when a new e-mail is opened. The dropdown information comes from a database, so I am using a data adapter to pull that information. So in short I would like to open a new e-mail and then populate the task pane custom controls with information to allow the user to interact with them and then press a button to add data to the database (all with-int he custom task pane). </font></p>© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
