MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2007Copy Outlook Contacts to Custom Contacts
Hi, I have created a folder that contains contacts. I have set the default form for this folder to use the custom contact form that I developed. What I would like to do is copy contacts from my main Contacts folder (that use the default contact form) into the custom Contacts folder in the custom contacts format. However, whenever I copy from the main Contacts into the custom Contacts, it copies in the standard Contact form. Thanks! That's completely normal and expected behavior. To change existing items so that they display using a published custom message form, you need to change the value of the MessageClass property on each item so that it points to the published form's class, e.g. IPM.Contact.MyForm. The page at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm has links to scripts and tools to do this.

Thanks Sue, this is a BIG help! However, this will require our users to run this after every contact they've copied. Is there no way to change the property while the users copy the contact over? By the way I'm user Outlook 2000. > That's completely normal and expected behavior.
