Use the Field Chooser

Although you can add a control to a form and then bind the control to a field, it is usually more effective to use the Field Chooser. The Field Chooser lets you add a control and bind it to a field in a single step. Also, in many cases, the built-in control provided by the Field Chooser has special features and capabilities that cannot be duplicated by binding a field to a standard control.

Microsoft Outlook displays the Field Chooser whenever you open a form in design mode.

Note  Some entries in the Field Chooser, such as Categories, display ellipses after them. These entries correspond to Outlook windows. When you drag one of these entries in the Field Chooser to a form page, Outlook creates a button that can be clicked to open the window.
