Default Outlook Custom Forms

I actually have two questions:

1) I have created a New Form in Outlook, but have Several Old Contacts on
the "Standard" Form. How do i transfer the Old Information into the New Form
without having to simply imput the data?

2) I have a public shared folder, utilizing OutlookWorkgroup Share 3rd party
program, how do i set that Shared Contact Folder TO ONLY use the Custom Form.
I did notice Properties "When Posting to this folder, use:" But i want to
understand the Properties Forms Manager, where it is grayed out that stated
"Allow only the Foms Listed Above".

Thanks for the help.

Default Outlook Custom Forms

1) You need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your new published form's class. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this.

2) Ask the folks who make Outlook Workgroup Share if their product supports that option and if so, how.
