I have a customer contact form I have in a separate active directory.  I want
the reading pane to use this form, it is defaulting to the default contact
form.  Is there a way to change that setting?

I don't understand. Active Directory doesn't store custom Outlook forms.

In any case, you'll need to wait for Outlook 2007 to be able to customize the look of the preview pane.

You answer my question.  Thanks.  Sorry for the confuse.  I was confused on
where it was being saved I assumed it was active directory.

In Outlook 2007, you'd use a form region. See http://outlookcode.com/news.aspx?id=22 to get started.
