In design mode, look on the (Properties) page. There is a box on the right to enter a version number. Changing the version number each time you publish the form can help you troubleshoot problems later.

Not sure what you mean by: "Then increment the version number and republish
the form using the same message class as the original form."

Can you please clearify? thanks so much!

Yes, that's very common. You'll put the form into design mode, add the fields and controls to display them, ensuring that the fields are listed on the All Fields page under User-defined Fields in This Item (this is critical). Then increment the version number and republish the form using the same message class as the original form.

Terminology note: "move to all of the forms" should be "move to all of the items." There is only one form -- the published template. What contain the data are individual items stored in Outlook folders.

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!
