Delete the MsgBox "Done" statement.

The code that you cited changes the MessageClass property on existing items so that they will use your custom form. You should run that form only once. You should ****not**** use that code in your own custom form.

got it to work by inserting code into the form - how do i get rid of the
"done" box that now pops up prior to every contact openning? If I eliminate
the code in that form, will the contacts keep using the new form, or does the
code need to run every time prior to openning a contact?

code was found he http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290659

thanks sue - okay, when I modify a custom form for my contacts, it appears to
me that the change is not reflected in all the contacts that use that form
... Am I doing something wrong?

And if every contact isn't automatically updated with the same named form it
uses (quite unbelievable to me if true), then how do you automatically update
all existing contacts using the modified custom form? Please, oh please
don't tell me the only solution is to run scripts and modify the registry :-)
