Custom Contact Card with some code
 

Hi,

I have create a custom contact card on my home pc...I have also added some
code to it to create a date/time stamp. I've emailed a copy to my work pc
and then tried to open it, but it looks like an original unchange contact
card. I know this must be something simple that I'm not doing...any help
would be appreciated.

XP, Outlook 2003 on both home and work pc

Thank you in advance.
Tom

Custom Contact Card with some code
 

How did you email it? Was this form published? Do you have the same code
running at work for this form?

Custom Contact Card with some code
 

Sorry, I will try to be more specific...

On my home pc I created a custom contact card with some new fields and code
which I saved to my home desktop...then published it...so my home outlook
contacts was working well with the new card. I then wanted to use the same
card with my work pc's outlook. I went into home outlook and attached a
saved copy of the card to an emailed it my my yahoo account and then
downloaded it to my desktop and when I opened it...it look as if it was the
original card with no changes. my work outlook is brand new, just installed
it a few days ago...home and work is xp, outlook 03.

Thank you again.
Tom

Attached what? An .oft template file? Have you installed OFfice 2003 Service Pack 2? If so, save the file and open it through the Tools | Forms | Choose Form command.
