I’m running XP and Outlook 2002 and have the 2000 Outlook Bible by Kleinke.  
I have read it thru and thru and can’t solve the problem of creating a new
custom form and then being able to add it to a personal contact folder. When
I import data from Excel and then try to open one address in the custom form
that I have designed, the information comes up in the standard contact form
with all the standard controls and labels still on the form. I know about
setting the default form to a folder – & even going deeper into the folder
properties, to the form tab and copying the exact form name to be sure that
the correct form is set to the folder of my choice. But to no avail. So… if
anyone has an idea on just what I’m missing, in this procedure, I’d
appreciate any information that you could convey.  Thanks in advance,  Old
Geezer.

You're not missing anything. Outlook simply doesn't support importing to a custom form. You'd have to write custom code or use a third-party application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm.

Thank you Ms. Mosher for your suggestion and your time, I'm going to give the
code idea a try.  If I'm successful I might even let you know. Again, I
appreciate your effort, Old Gezzer.
