Still no clearer as to how you upgraded - i.e. "in-place" on same machine or
on a new machine nor any mention of where your forms were originally
published. If this was an "in-place" upgrade - the reference to "just moved
to new location and renamed....." is a tad too ambigious to try and
determine "whay may have happened".

Going back to my original response, quick solution is to re-publish the form
(presuming you have a backup copy of it - else, well.........). All forms
should be still be there if an "in-place" upgrade
was done on the same machine (if not - then it doesn't sound like the normal
upgrade process was followed). If the upgrade involved a new machine and you
don't have a copy of your custom form, hopefully the old machine is still
around for you to make a copy and publish on new machine.

At the end of the day, if your contact folder shows the custom form as the
"default" to be used for new contacts and it's not coming up - you will need
to re-publish the form. Everything else in terms of the "how's" and "why's"
is purely academic (assuming also that pre-existing contacts are also not
opening up with the old custom form).

Well - I guess there was no bet and Karl kept his dollar ..

What happened is:

I upgraded from 2003 to 2007. My old pst-files were just moved to the new
location and renamed for my purpose. - Somewhere during that prosess the
forms disappeared.

Signal check. I see no reference to "contact manager" in this thread.
Do
you?

What exactly are you referring to with the term "contact manager"?
Did
you possibly upgrade from O'???? with BCM to O'2007 without BCM?

If BCM is not a factor then where was the custom form published in
your
previous Outlook version? To folder, Personal forms lib or Exch Org
Forms lib?

Quick solution may be to simply re-publish the form to the designated
folder. Generally if this was an "in-place" upgrade on the same
machine - everything should remain the same and all forms would
remain
in tact.

You can't, which is one of many reasons you should never import
Outlook
data. You have an Outlook data file, right?
Open it and use it. Why would you import it?
