Dear Stephen,

Double-clicking it opened it as the standard form,

This is normally not correct. Normally you must see the new form.

Please delete your "formcache" and try it again.

After you see your corect form, you must publish the form:

Fro existing contacts you will need a tool that can change the "message
class" of the existing forms.

We developed a freeware tool which change the message class:

Maybe it helps.

Thanks Oliver.
I saved it as "Untitled.oft" then emailed it to work, then saved it to the
desktop. Double-clicking it opened it as the standard form, not my new
"well-designed" (ha-ha-ha!) form. Do I need to publish it first, and if
so, what's the sub-directory called where User-Defined forms are usually
stored - please?

Hi Stephen,

you must save this form as an "oft" file.

This file you can send by email and then you can publish / use thsi form
on another computer.

Have a look n this site:

Using Outlook 2003, I would like to design a custom Contacts form at
home (as I have more time there)and then email it to my work (where I am
also running Outlook 2003.
I've Googled & searched this forum, to no avail - is this possible?
