Hello Everybody,
I hope somebody can help me. I am using the german
version of Outlook 2003 and tried to create a user
contact form as well as a user defined task form.
When opening the standard contact form, the layout of
this standard form changes completly. Everything looks
different and some features (like the personal photo
option) are no longer available.

When I tried to change the standard task form, I simply
can't change or add anything on it / to it. I looks like
this form has some kind of read only on it. I could add
new filed to a second page, but thats not what I really
would like to do.

Can somebody think of a solultion for either of these
problems, because I really liked these forms and just
wanted to add some new fields to it.

Thanks for your help.

Judith

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
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/contactform.htm

The first page of the task form is not customizable. For other task form
limitations, see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/taskform.htm
