Changing ALL forms in contacts

I added a custom field- social security number - to my
contacts.  Then I changed the form-- adding a "page 2" to
accept and display this new field.  I then went into the
properties of the Contacts folder and pointed "When
Posting" to my new form.  Now, when I add a contact, I
get the new form and it allows entry of the social
security #.  However, whenever I open an existing
contact, this custom form is not there-- I can't add or
see the new field / or the Page 2 I modified to show it.  
In edit mode, it seems to show the form the original
entry was made in.  How can I make the new form the
default for existing contacts?

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