MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2005Amend Contact Form
Hi, I'm trying to add a new field to the Outlook Contacts Form. Have managed to get into the Design of the Form and added the field and then publish it - giving it the same name - Contacts Form. However, it won't work! Doesn't keep the field I've added when I got into New Contact. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Sally T Details, details: 1) Outlook version 2) Where did you publish the form? 3) Did you follow any of the normal procedures to make it your default form? (See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm) 4) What kind of field did you add? What is different about the way you see the contact when you first create it and after it's saved?

New field is a text field. However, is there a way of amending all existing Contacts (already entered) to also use this form with the new field or is there no chance of that? Many, many thanks.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this.
