Sue,

I still have a problem, however. When I created my new form, I started with
a standard form because I was instructed to from some manual. And I
foolishly left data in the General tab area (e.g. full name, e-mail
addresses, phone number, etc.).

Now, when I attempt to create a new record all of the old data is retained.
I have attempted to delete it and save -- but nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions,

Thanks,

Dale Bennett

To set the default form for the folder, use the "When posting to this folder, use" dropdown on the General tab.

I have created a custom form. I published it in contacts since it is a
contact form. I right clicked on contacts and am attempting to make it my
default form. I am following all the instructions I can find but it is
simply not working.

What is curious to me is the area titled "Allow these forms in this folder"
is shadowed out -- not allowing me to select any of the three options in the
box.

I have read a number of threads that pertain to my problem but I still do
not have an answer. I have created a very elaborate customized form and need
to use it very badly -- but I'm stuck!

Can someone help me?

Thanks,
