I just want to add one or 2 new items to the regular contact screen in
Outlook 2003. Under customize there is an option for the form design toolbar,
but I can't click it.  Any ideas?

Tools | Forms | Design a Form is the command you use to customize a form. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms.htm

Hi Sue, I just got a chance to try that, and it brought up the basic contact
screen, not the one that is used (and on the screen) in 2003.

That *is* the basic contact form you can customize. 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. If you don't customize the first page, you'll still see the new layout in your custom form. One workaround for the picture 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
