Ok, I think I've isolated my problem.
Here's what I did:
1.) Created a custom form with user defined fields and created views to go
along with it.
2.) Applied these new forms and views to a subfolder of the original.
3.) Added some records based on this form to the original folder.
4.) Modified the custom form, adding a new value to a drop down list of a
custom field.
5.) Published this to both folders.
6.) Added more records to the original folder based on the updated form.

Now I find that if I want to move or copy records from the original folder
to the subfolder that only the newest records, based on the current form
design, will move or copy. If I try to copy the other records, based on the
original form design, I get an error message about the how the operation
can't be completed that the original record may have been moved or deleted.

Question is then, is this normal? Should I expect to basically orphan the
original records? Is there any kind of work around? Am I barking up the
wrong tree? Should this have been posted in a new thread?

Thanks much,
Linn

File | Folder | Copy Folder Design. It doesn't copy custom field
definitions, though. Do them manually.

Or just copy the entire folder.

Hi,

I'm using OL 2003 with an Exchange backend. We are using public folders
and
I created custom views and forms for a calendar folder. Now I'd like to
create another folder similar to this other one but I'd like to save
myself
some time. I can easily use the forms I created for the original folder
but
I can't seem to figure out how to import the custom views. Any
suggestions?
Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,
Linn
