You will need to add those fields to each of the subfolders. You can do this by using the Field Chooser for the folder. Or, you can programmatically create a new item in the folder and add to its UserPRoperties collection. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/fields.htm.

now I'm going to try to find some resources for the next problem------
how do I make the "uer defined fields" - the ones unique to the new
form I'v loaded show up in the 'available fields in the field
chooser------
they show up nicely when I click the FIELDS CHOOSER when I'm within the
general CONTACTS folder (the one within where all my other subfolders
are (lovewpg100, possiblelovewinnipeg, uncontacted ect) I have 125
contacts that i hadn't put into the other subfolders and I can very
nicely drag one of my fields (year subscribed) from the field chooser
to the table view and have it show up
when I start up the field chooser in any of my subfolders though, and
click "user defined fields" no fields show up for me to choose

I'v tried HELP and the description of how to make "empty" fields
appear, but I don't get the option to "show empty fields" ---- the help
topic was geared to "within a card view type" vs in a table view

---- Do you have a link to explain this phenomenon? THANKS once again
