O2003 ...

I have designed and created my own form for Contacts, with my own fields
and values.

How do I ensure this form is the one that is always used for contacts?

The default form always seems to kick-in !!!

What is publishing a form ... how do save a form, and to where?

Links to tutorials welcome.

Found out how .... download a small file called "formsadmin" from
Microsoft, follow the instruction therein *carefully* and ye shall have
a default form!

Not sure if there is any 'fall-out' from doing such, but what I need to
do now works, so i'm a happy bunny.
