eltlook 2003.  I need to add a field called "Spouse Birthday" to every
existing contact record and to each new record created.  Moreover, I would
like this field to appear on the "Details" tab of the contact card, and to be
able to be updated from there.  How can I accomplish these things?  Thanks
for the help and God bless.

Clarifications.  I meant Outlook 2003 (not eltlook).  I have figured out how
to add a field to a form.  But, how do I change the defualt contact form that
is brought up for anyone who creates a new contact in our shared contacts
folder?  How do I edit this default form to include the new field?  How do I
modify existing contacts so that when they are displayed they use the new
default form?  Thanks for the help.

I don't know if these pages will answer you question directly, but they're
worth reviewing nevertheless:
