The basic problem, I'm afraid to say, is that you're running code without understanding what it does. The code in the article changes the message class of all the items in the folder that the user is currently looking at. It is a separate routine, not something to include in your original form's code. My other post explains in more detail.

here is a follow up - when i receive a new email into my inbox, it shows as
it always has...however, when I create a contact from that email and my new
custom form shows up, the email in the preview pane now appears in a new form
- not the original form and not the new custom form (who said the preview
pane form couldnt be changed?!) - this doesn't happen in any of my other
folders, only the inbox yet when I check the properties of inbox it matches
the properties of all the subfolders I've created and store email messages
in...
ohhhh crapppp...i just created a contact from my sent folder and it changed
every single sent message over to the new custom form with the same miserable
form in the reading window....how the heck can this be sooo darn
unintuitive??? now what do I do?

uh oh -- in addition to the questions above, i"ve managed to change the form
in the preview pane after inserting the code above...it's now the old contact
form instead of the email preview form - what happened? I didn't apply any
new forms to the Inbox so it's weird but I'm sure completely explainable in
the outlook method of logic....thanks in advance...

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
