Hi All

Is there a quick way to change records using the default form to a custom
Form I have created. New records are OK as they are using the new form but
previous records have the default form for the type of folder.

I have a two public folders one a contacts and one a task and I am using a
new custom form. I would like to change all the existing records to this new
form but the only way I can see is copy and paste the details to the new
form.

Cheers
Paul

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.
