Hi all,
I'm working on an email/snailmail database in Outlook. I customized the contact form and gave it a new name, published it, used the FormAdmin tool to change it to the default, but now when I click on new contact it launches a MAIL form. How do I go back and either go back to the default contact form or have my form come up? Thanks, --Jim WindowsXP sp2, Office 2003 sp2 |

Never tried the FormAdmin tool. But if you right-click on your Contacts
folder, what is the default folder set there? "Spike9458" wrote: Hi all, I'm working on an email/snailmail database in Outlook.

What the FormsAdmin tool does is make a change in the Windows registry, adding new keys to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Ou tlook\Custom Forms key. Microsoft released the tool only for Office 2000, which corresponds to version 9.0 of Office. However, if you have a later version of Outlook, you may have used the FormsAdmin tool to export a .reg file and may have edited the key to replace 9.0 with 10.0 for Outlook 2002 or 11.0 for Outlook 2003, then imported the .reg file to make the change.
To resolve the problem, you can use the registry editor to navigate to the Outlook\Custom Forms key corresponding to your version of Office. There you will see subkeys for Compose and Read. Under each of those keys, delete the value named IPM.Contact. This will remove the reference to the custom form, so that Outlook subsequently will open new contacts in its default contact form. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Spike9458" wrote in message news ![]() Hi all, I'm working on an email/snailmail database in Outlook.

Nick,
Sorry for the delay in writing back. It says IPM.Contact. I found my way to the key in regedit and deleted the appropriate key. I guess I'm back to my original question which is how do you change the default to a customized form? Thanks, --Jim "Nick B" wrote in message ... : Never tried the FormAdmin tool.
