Is this a published form or an .oft file? If the latter, have Outlook 2003 users open it with the Tools | Forms | Choose Form command.

Sue,
This file is a "Outlook item Template" when I e-mail it to someone
with Outlook 2003 they can open it as a attachment fron their e-mail to view
it, but it come up as the "standard contact template" and they cant see any
Custom changes. The outlook 2000 user can see all the changes what im I
doing that I shoudent be. I have a feeling that it is in the way I save it
becouse version 1 of this form work for 2003 users and later versions dont.
Amy Ideas....Mark

Repeating: Have Outlook 2003 users open it with the Tools | Forms | Choose Form command. Note that this means they'll need to save it as a file first.

Sue,
That did not work but here how it dose
Here’s the steps I took:

Select File - New - Choose Form
Under “Look In” select “User Templates in File System” option
Click Browse
Locate Template you sent (I’ve been dropping them on my desktop)
Open template then displays your template.
Thanks....Mark

Those are the right steps to run a saved .oft file. So, you're saying that the Outlook 2000 user can see all the form's pages, but the Outlook 2003 user can see only the built-in pages? And what you're sending is the .oft file as an attachment?

Does version 1 still work? (You did keep a backup copy as an .oft file, right?)
