Default outlook 2000 changing msg class using utility? bewildered

A.

I understand that when someone sends me a new contact, based on the
standard deflt CONTACTS form that comes with outlook----- that is
called a VCARD. There is no way I can send my form of CONTACTS
customized for mto everyone, so is there a way other than

1. opening the vcard, saving contact to ______ folder,
2. 2.and then running CHANGE MESSAGE CLASS for the entire folder

each time I import a new contact I'v been sent--- to get these new
contact entries to have the same FORM as the rest of my contacts??

I'v read some stuff about saving new forms to each specific folder,
but won't that then override the standard form that I read when I'm
simply reading/ sending out a mail message........ vs keeping the
standard MAIL form, and being able tro add another form to the INBOX
folder...... I'm confused...... folders can't have two default
forms, I image


B. I'm revising the form that I had previously done with CUSTOM
CREATED new fields...........

My cutting and pasting the "all contact fields" entry within one of
my contacts into WORD (via table view and excel first) I was able to
see exactly which NEWLY CREATED fields (ie user 1 was in use as my Map
city area - drop down field) were being matched to what stuff.

I'v noticed that there are a lot of fields within the FIELD CHOOSER
(ie that would show up in table view nicely vs custom made fields)
that aren't being used------ for instance...... other phone (number)
could equal a checkbox - output as a TEXT (yes/no) field

Once again, the downloading code option isn't available to me for
CUSTOMIZING the field chooser menu for getting a TABLE VIEW of all my
CUSTOM LABELED items

Maybe you could give you feedback as to my BRAINSTORMING logic for this
chart and idea

(1 COLUME- default fields within field chooser)
2nd colume- label i'll give to field in new form,
3rd -type of output I want in table view..... some of these
will be inputted text fields) (values assigned?)
4th -(type. format?) within form design, it may be a
dropdown menu, or a checkbox---
both of which output as text fields in tableview)

OUTLOOK DEFAULT FIELD LABEL WITHIN NEW FORM TYPE OUTPUT TABLE
VIEW
Organizational ID Number Type of mailout parachurch, youth ministry,
pastors DROP
OTHER PHONE PHONE ERROR Yes/no CHECK - text
PHONE 8 EMAIL ERROR Yes/no CHECK
Private PRIVATE EMAIL
Yes/no CHECK



THANKYOU ( i just hope the charts formatting stays.......good luck
interpeting it)

Ps. Is there a way to narrow down (make a NEW MENU out of the
specific fields from field chooser that will be in my new form---( I
understand that I'd have to use MANAGER vs the level of contact label
for the toolbar) but it would be handy not to have to scroll sooo far
within ALL CONTACT FIELDS
