SharePoint 2007 Fields/Columns within the Outlook View

[Tom at GSD]

Hello,
We have a customer that wants us to write an add-in that will be able to
manipulate the fields (columns) within the form view - within the SharePoint
folder. They want us to ensure that only select fields (columns) are
available within the form view.

The problem that I understand from the customer is that the fields cannot be
changed. The customer spent ($$) over 20 hours of time with Microsoft and
they could not get a solution. The problem -as I understand it - is the field
changes for the view do not take effect for SharePoint.

We do not have much experience with SharePoint from a programmatic
standpoint. Does anybody know if this is going to be doable? Or is there a
procedure that will allow this to be done from a user prospective? These guys
have spent a lot of money already and I do not want to start something that
cannot be done.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,
Tom -

Not sure if you are still looking for a solution, but we built an Outlook add-in for this purpose. If you are still interested, you can find more information at www.propersync.com.
