hello,

i have one little question about custom forms for the outlook contacts. when
i create a custom view the general tab look in outlook 2003 like in versions
before.
the button for the phone number dialog ist missing. can i get this feature
to work with the custom form?

thanks

The new contact form layout in OL2003 and the included picture control are not available to programmers, who will see the older layout when they put an Outlook 2003 contact form into design mode. One workaround is to use an image control, as described at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formpicture.htm#control .

For other contact form idiosyncracies, see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/contactform.htm

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...rogram_f orms
