I have imported a list of contacts from access into a "Folder containing
Contact Items". When I double click on a contact entry, it brings up the
name in a message format. When I double click on an entry in our default
Contact list, it brings up the Contact form (as it should). Where do I set
this property so that I can double click on the Contact and have it bring up
the Contact form? The list of contacts is definitely in a Contact Item
folder because it has the little ID card icon. Thank you.

The symptoms all indicate that it isn't really a contacts folder, regardless
of what the icon says. I'd probably start the process over again, being
really careful about whqat kind of folder I'm creating, then doing the
import.
