Default display for phone fields
I am creating a custom form and want to be able to set the phone fields which
are displayed by default to Business, Business2, Home and Mobile. These are the ones that I shall use most and would prefer not to have to change the display every time I create a new contact. I am an experienced user but do not do programming.

Default display for phone fields
Did you display those fields before you published your custom form?

Default display for phone fields
I didn't do that. I guess just to display those four individual fields I
remove the phone fields and phone selector and add them individually. But I would like to keep the phone selector and change the display on the odd occasionin the form if I need to. How do I do this? When I look at the properties for field the value if Phone 1 Selected - no mention of the actual field name. Confused.

Default display for phone fields
No, it's not that hard. Just select the field you want in each of the four phone selectors before you publish the form.

Default display for phone fields
You already have a published form, right? Run it -- in other words, create a new item with it. Save that item as an .oft file to make a backup copy of your form. Set the phone selectors on that item the way you want, then use the Tools | Forms | PUblish Form command to republish the form.
