Anyone know when Oulook 2003 Contact Form Designer will have an update ? Or a workaround
I am trying to create a custom contact form in Outlook 2003 and want to base it off of the default contact form in Outlook 2003 and just get the old XP form.
I went to knowledge base and they say that it is a known problem that the design form for Outlook contacts 2003 (only the contact form apparently) was not updated from 2000 or XP.
Does anyone know when that will be fixed or have another workaround? I would like the new form to have the picture option that the default Outlook 2003 contact form has.
Thanks, Amy

When you go into design mode with an Outlook 2003 contact form it
looks like the contact form for previous versions of Outlook and
doesn't show the new picture control. As long as you either don't
modify the first tab of the form or if you modify that tab make sure
not to put anything where that control would be, the form will show
the picture control when it isn't in design mode.
For accessing the picture control you can't do anything in design
mode. The accesses to the control are by code, using the AddPicture
and RemovePicture methods and the HasPicture Boolean property.
Pictures are actually stored in the contact item, as an attachment.
