OK, I went to make some changes to be more useful to my needs. Problem is
when you open up contact form, the contact form is an older version the
Outlook '03. Is there a way to get the current version to load.

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 not that I'm a programmer just wantedd to customize my experience a
little, I thank you for the info. Was wondering if there are any plans to
make this available to the public anytime.
