Did you publish the form using the same message class? Can affected users create new items using the same form? Does the Help | About This Form dialog show the old or the new form version number?

Eric-

Makes perfect sense, however, I added contacts and saved them. This morning
I just updated the form, and add the contacts still have the old version of
the form displaying when I open them. ?? why do you think this is?

Only newly added contacts display the new form...

Yes, that's essentially how custom forms work. Any item that is based on the
custom form's message class (eg. IPM.Contact.Client) will always load the
latest published version of your form design when you open it. You can even
convert regular Contacts to use your custom form by changing its message
class from IPM.Contact to IPM.Contact.Client using a simple VBA procedure.

Using Outlook 2003 Small Business Edt.

A Contact form has been designed, and it is now going to be in use for
contacts. I think we may be running into a problem. Can we build our client
database with this form, save the clients, etc, and later on down the road
add fields to a blank form (the same one that has been created) and have the
changes/added fields move to all of the forms?

please help if you can, thanks!
