Add Contact Picture in Outlook 2003

In Outlook 2003's default contact form you can do
Action>Add Picture and insert a picture on the contact
form.  I have a modified contact form with
fields/information specific to our office and would like
to use the add picture feature on the modified form.  
However, when I go into Tools>Forms>Design a
Form>Standard Forms Libary, the 2003 contact form is not
the one that comes up (it's an older 1998 version without
this feature).  Does anyone know where the Outlook 2003
contact form is located and how do I get it to open in
the design mode so I can take a look at how it inserts
the picture?  Alternatively, any ideas on what field or
tool box control is being used to activate the insert
picture?  I'm stumped.

Thanks for you help.

The new contact form layout in OL2003 and the included picture control are
not available to programmers, who will see the older layout when they put an
Outlook 2003 contact form into design mode. One workaround is to use an
image control, as described at
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formpicture.htm#control .

For other contact form idiosyncracies, see

It's nice to know I'm not going insane.  It was driving
me nuts why I kept getting the old 1998 contact form
instead of the new one.  Thanks for the lead on the image
control.
