I want to edit the standard Contact form on Outlook. When I choose "Tools
->Forms -> Edit This Form" it comes up with a similar form but not the same
one. How can I edit the standard one that comes with Outlook?

The new contact form layout in OL2003 and the included picture control are
not available to programmers, who will see the older layout when they put an
Outlook 2003 contact form into design mode. One workaround is to use an
image control, as described at
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formpicture.htm#control .

For other contact form idiosyncracies, see
