Default How to change the default form for importing contacts

I created a new contact form called XX and managed to change the message
class using the Omsgclas.doc utility. I was even able to change existing
contacts to the new XX form. When i add a new contact manually the new XX
form is used.

However when i import contacts, the old default contact form is used. How do
i change the default to import contacts into the new XX form?

Default How to change the default form for importing contacts

Outlook does not support importing to a custom form, nor importing custom fields. You would need to write your own import code or use a third-party tool. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=23
