Default Outlook, forms and Public Folders

Just as an aside - ContactGenie Message Class Modifier (also free)
identifies the following in a single solution:

- default message class assigned to the folder
- all message classes published to the folder, (as well as those
in Personal Forms Lib & Org Forms Lib)
- all message classes found being used within tthe selected folder
whether published or not
- all field names used in a given custom form
- ability to rename multiple message classes at the same time
- ensures that you cannot rename the message class using an
invalid name (i.e. "FormName" instead of "IPM.Contact.FormName" which
a number of the various other script solutions allow resulting
in an invalid formname being assigned to an item which in turn results in a
contact
item being opened as an IPM.Note (mail) item by default
- ability to copy or move items based on selected message
class(es) from one folder to another (PST or Exch)

Perform the import, then use one of the scripts or tools on the page I
suggested to update the MessageClass property of the imported items to point
to your published custom form. You can check whether the items were updated
properly by adding the Message Class field to any view, so that you can see
what form they use.

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.
