Changing the default form for a contact folder
What's the value of the Message Class property for the existing item?

Changing the default form for a contact folder
Sue,
I've created my new form, published it in the respective folder, set the form up to post to this new folder, but cannot open the form when I click in "new". I get the following error message "an error occurred registering the form in the OLE registry". What's wrong?

Changing the default form for a contact folder
Do you get the same result when you run the form from the Actions menu? What kind of form and folder?

Changing the default form for a contact folder
Yes. I get the same result from the Actions menu.
I created a new Contacts folder to utilize, and I published the new form I created to the folder. Should there be some kind of confirmation that the process was complete when I publish the form? There seems to be a problem either with the publishing process or the linking of the form to the folder.

Changing the default form for a contact folder
There is no confirmation message. Once the form is published, you'll see it in the Manage Forms dialog for the folder and on the folder's Actions menu.
I would try clearing the forms cache and, if that doesn't work, deleting the published form and republishing. You did make a backup copy as an ..oft file, right? -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "jim&Ekriktz" wrote in message ...

Changing the default form for a contact folder
I figured it out.. it wasn't properly saving the oft file before publishing it.
Now I need to figure out how to import an excel spreadsheet to my new contacts form. Thanks "jim&Ekriktz" wrote: Sue.. yes I have the oft template saved.

Changing the default form for a contact folder
Outlook doesn't support importing to a custom form. You'd have to write custom code or use a third-party application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm.

Changing the default form for a contact folder
Sue, this sounds totally insane to me...
You write: "However, Outlook doesn't support importing to a custom form or to custom fields. You'd have to write custom code or use a third-party application. " If this really is true, I will consider going back to good ole DOS, in my Open Access DB I never had any problems with forms/masks etc. - and you tell us that Bill Gates has not been able to offer us a possibility to import data to a contact file, let's say from Access .mdb if the form has been redesigned? I have been waisting ONE day with this totally stupid problem, it simply HAS TO BE POSSIBLE... And MS beeing totally without the will to perform what I would call normal service. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE????????? People are walking on the moon, and here we are not able to import contacts to a contacts database; mapping our new fields???????????? ... I'm sorry Sue, but this - to me - sounds totally mentally retarded from Microsoft!!
