SUMMARY
When you design a form and insert one or more Message or Notes fields in Microsoft Outlook, you will receive the following warning message:

  This form has more than one Message or Notes control. If more than one control is visible at run time, only one control works.



MORE INFORMATION
An Outlook form should only contain one Message or Notes field. If you place two or more Message or Notes fields on the same form, one of the fields takes precedence and you receive the above warning.

The Outlook default e-mail Message form contains a Message field on the first page of the form. If you create a new form, based on the default Message form, and you insert a Message field on another page, you will receive the above warning. The first page Message field will take precedence.

The Outlook default Appointment form contains a Notes field on the first page of the form. If you create a new form, based on the default Appointment form, and you insert a Notes field on another page, you will receive the above warning. The first page Notes field will take precedence.

You can resolve this problem by not displaying the first page of the form. To suppress the first page, click the Message or Appointment tab and on the Form menu, click to clear "Display This Page." Now only one Message or Notes field is active.
