When I create a new contact form as soon as I go to the "design this form"
the picture area that is in the default contact form is not in the design
form. Why is that and is there a way to get that picture back in a new form?

The new contact form layout in OL2003 and the included picture control are not available to programmers, who will see the older layout when they put an Outlook 2003 contact form into design mode. One workaround is to use an image control, as described at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formpicture.htm#control .

For other contact form idiosyncracies, see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/contactform.htm
