MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2005Apply a new form to existing contacts
I just created a custom form for one of my contact databases/folders in OL 02. I simply created a form that displays "user defined" fields 1-4 in the "general" tab so I can see the info without having to dive into other tabs. Of course, I can apply this form to any new contact, but I'd like to apply it to the rest of my existing contacts. How would I go about doing this. I've searched all over this forum, but I can't find anything that addresses this. Thanks! You need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your new form's class. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this.

I'm wanting to change the form for a contact folder I created to maintain a specific database. I don't want to change the form my main contact folder uses. Therefore, what is my best route?

Change the default form for the folder and the items in that folder.
