Default Outlook, forms and Public Folders

The data I ma trying to import only contains standard fields data, however I
want them to be displayed using the custom form I have created so that I can
input the data into the custom fields.

I have tried importing the data and changing the form with no success.

Karl, that information is kept at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm now, no longer at slipstick.com.

#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.
