I'm trying to do the same thing. A user here is wondering if we can setup
certain categories globally on a public folder directory. I've looked at the
link that you pointed to, but I am confused as to how it all works. I don't
have much experience with categories though. If you could give me the low
down I would be most appreciative. Thanks!

To change existing items so that they display using a published custom message form, you need to change the value of the MessageClass property on each item so that it points to the published form's class, e.g. IPM.Contact.MyForm. The page at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm has links to scripts and tools to do this.

Sue,

Is there any way to import all of the existing contacts in this folder into
this form or do they need to be re-entered ?

Many thanks

I am looking for a method of setting a comon Master category list for all
users of my public folders. Currently these are set locally but i want a
group one to ensure all users can use the same categories. We are using
Outlook 2003 with Exchange for SBS server 2003. Anyone have any ideas?
