Is the contact picture associated with a user accessable field?  I would like
to create a custom form and view similar to an ID badge displaying a contact
photo and basic information.

See  http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formpicture.htm#control .

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the
hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public
.outlook.program_forms

How do I access the contact picture in Outlook 2003, which is some sort of
"attachment". I know how to add it to a form once I have access to it.

An item that already has a picture stores the image in an attachment named
ContactPicture.jpg.

How do I access ContactPicture.jpg or any attachment for that matter. The
only field available, that I am aware of is "attachment" which is boolean
("yes"/"no")? Obviously the default contacts form has access; and I can
display it by right,clicking and choosing "view attachment"; but how can I
access it to put on my own custom form? The standard library version of the
contacts form omits this field in the forms designer.

Take a look at the MailItem.Attachments collection and the Attachment object
and their methods, which you can use in code, including VBScript behind a
form.

The new picture control on the Outlook 2003 contact form is not available to
programmers. The page I suggested earlier has alternative solutions.
