I have managed to email the custom form to another user as an oft file, and
the custom form opens on their computer. I am now wondering where the form
needs to be Saved on the computer in order to utilize it in the Forms
Library.

So, you are using the third-party WorkGroupShare application to share this data in Outlook. You will have to ask them if that folder supports custom forms and if so, to what extent.

Sue, we do not have Exchange but I believe we have SQL. If that makes sense,
I am not up to date on everything with using servers.
I have saved the custom form as an oft file and tried emailing it to the
other users. Is this the correct route to go? They are going to try
publishing the form once opened on their end into their Personal Forms and
also our Group folder which is on WorkGroupShare on the server. We're not
sure if it is going to work or if it is the correct way to go about getting
them the form in order to save to their own computers.

There's a contradiction here. If you don't have Exchange, what are you using to get a "Group folder ... on the server."

The Organizational Forms library is a feature of Exchange. In your scenario, each person will need to publish the form to their Personal Forms library or to the library for the folder that contains the contacts.

We have Outlook 2003 but do not have Exchange. I have created a custom
contact form but it is only available on MY computer and not the 3 others we
need it on. I published it as a Personal Folder for the time being, and also
published it under the Group folder that we use for our Contacts (that is on
the server). I went to Properties and selected the new form for being posted
to under the Group folder.
Where do I need to publish in order for everyone to utilize this new form?
The options I have to publish to a
Standard Forms Library, Personal Forms Library, Outlook folders, Standard
Templates, User Templates in File System... I do not have an Organizational
Forms Library, maybe as we do not have Exchange?
Please help on where to publish this custom form in order for all 4 of us to
see. Thank you!
