Default Converting one outlook contact form to another outlook contact form

In that case, you simply need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your new form's class, e.g. IPM.Contact.FormB. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this.

Make sure that the form definition for FormB includes the custom property, visible on the User-defined Fields in This Item list on the All Fields page.

Sorry, I will try to be more clear. We have two custom forms, form A
and B. One is no longer used and we want to convert all of the contacts
using form A to form B so that every contact is using the same form.
There is a custom field in both forms that we want to make sure the
data is brought across to these contacts when they are converted from A
to B.

Thanks.
