Can I create user defined fields on the Outlook 2003 Contact form that will
store hyperlinks?

You can create fields to store text and use code to launch the browser. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/tips/formhyperlink.htm

Thank you.  I was hoping that I could create additional fields with the same
properties as the "Contacts" field or the "Web Page" field, so a hyperlink
could be pasted in.  Specifically, I want to work with the
outlook:contact/~name link to associate one contact with a particular
relationship to another contact (for example, attorney for a client).  I
gather that the best way to do this would probably be to have a field on the
client contact form in which text can be entered (e.g. the name of the
attorney), and use a command button to execute the link, which would then
open up the attorney contact item from the client contact item.  Your book
looks like it would be helpful, but we are working strictly in Outlook 2003.  
Do you have an update coming out soon?

Everything in the book is relevant to Outlook 2003. There were not enough changes to justify a new version.

I am planning a new version when Outlook "12" is released.
