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?

Explain more completely what you did. Custom forms are preserved when you
simply copy and reuse the PST file.

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.

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.

More spesific:

The contact form in the contacts folder include a menu where you can pick
fields made by you just for this folder. These fields are missing!
