When I save an attachment directly from outlook to a SharePoint Document
Library, I am not prompted to enter in the custom columns I have assigned to
the library. If I do the same "Save As" from wiithin Excel, everything looks
the same, except it DOES prompt me to enter information in the specific
columns.

e.g. I have "Customer" defined as a custom column which happens to be a drop
down list. When I add an attachment from Outlook, It never gives me the
option to pick the Customer. I have to go back into the library and click
"Edit Properties".

I think there should be a way to do this from Outlook, but just don't know
how.

I am experiencing the exact same issue at a client. Any information on
this issue is much appreciated!

Best regards,
