Your choices and solutions really depend on the data in the contact list you
are importing.

Things to keep in mind:
#1 - Using the Outlook import wizard - contacts will be created using the
standard contact form (Msg Class=IPM.Contact) regardless of what the default
setting is for the folder
#2 - You cannot import data into any user-defined fields whether using a
custom form or not using Outlook's import wizard
#3 - Outlook doesn't provide for importing directly into a public folder

Having said the above - your options are basically as follows:

#1 - If you're importing data that is destined for user-defined fields -
you'll need to either write your own code or use a 3rd party product (see:
http://www.contactgenie.com or you may find other alternatives on
Slipstick - http://www.slipstick.com)

#2 - If the data you are importing is all targetted for standard Outlook
fields - then you can use Outlook's import wizard for the basic import
process and then simply change the message class for all imported contacts
to use your custom form (we have a utility for that purpose - ContactGenie
Message Class Modifier - http://www.contactgenie.com/cgtmcm.htm or as above
you can find other alternatives on Slipstick as noted above).

#3 - If these are contacts destined for a "public" contact folder and you
don't want to use 3rd party software or write your own code (and the data
doesn't involve custom fields) - simply follow step #2 using a contact
folder in a PST file and then copy these contacts to the public folder where
the form also has to be published.

I have created a form for my clients, I want this to be the default form in
this folder. I have tried importing a contact list from an access dbase
but
the imported dbase does not use the same form and I have tried, with my
limited intelect to change these forms to correspond with my created form.

Is it possible to import contacts to this new folder with it's own form
and
have the imports use this form?
