Default COPYING TEMPLATES

Version Used - Outlook 2002.

I use outlook contacts for maintaining data. A lot of data has already been
entered in the Contacts Records by using the usual template.

I have created a new template with additional fields, and would like to use
it for the other contact records also.

How do I go about it? Do I have to redo all the contacts records by using
the new template, or is there a method of replicating the new template for
the existing records, so that only the additional fields in the new template
have to be filled up?

Best regards

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

So, use a different tool or script. There's more than one.
