I have a database of some 600 contacts, and I want to add the same extra
fields to ALL of them. I can see how to do it one by one, but how can I get
ALL contacts to use the altered form?

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.
