I don't understand. Active Directory doesn't store custom Outlook forms.

In any case, you'll need to wait for Outlook 2007 to be able to customize the look of the preview pane.

I have a customer contact form I have in a separate active directory. I want
the reading pane to use this form, it is defaulting to the default contact
form. Is there a way to change that setting?
