Reverting to Custom Outlook 2003 Contact Form
Somehow I have managed to create a Custom Form and when I open a Contact I
get a message that Form cannot be read and will be opened in Outlook. I recall a message about a change to a .dot template and had trouble getting rid of this message so I suspect I saved an unplanned Custom Form. I would be grateful for any advice on how to revert the Contacts to the original standard Outlook Form. -- Neil@UK

Reverting to Custom Outlook 2003 Contact Form
..dot files are Word templates, generally unrelated to Outlook custom forms,
so your scenario is a little confusing. To find out whether the items are indeed using a custom form, add the Message Class field to any table view, then sort or group on that field to see which contacts are using the standard form, IPM.Contact and which are using something else. Report back what you learn, and we'll take it from there. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Neil@UK" wrote: Somehow I have managed to create a Custom Form and when I open a Contact I get a message that Form cannot be read and will be opened in Outlook.

Reverting to Custom Outlook 2003 Contact Form
Dear Sue,
I have followed your suggestion and the search finds "exactly all" the Contacts in the Folder. I hope this helps with the "diagnosis"? Yours sincerely, Neil. -- Neil@UK "Sue Mosher [MVP]" wrote: .dot files are Word templates, generally unrelated to Outlook custom forms, so your scenario is a little confusing.

Dear Sue,
I think my last reply below may have been "lost in the system". Please may you comment further?
