MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2006Outlook Form Appearance
I recently upgraded from a prior version of Outlook (either 2000 or 2002, I can't recall) to 2003. New Contacts I create use a nice new form to display the individual contact information, but prior contacts use the old-style form. How can I get all contacts to use the same form? Thanks, Tony Maybe you set the older items to use a custom form? (and maybe for a specific reason?) Add the Message Class field to any folder view and compare the values for old and new items.

I can only just barely follow what you recommended. In any case, are you able to describe how I can set all contact forms to use the default Outlook form? Thanks!

You need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your new form's class. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this.
