also running Outlook 2003.

Hi Stephen,

you must save this form as an "oft" file.

This file you can send by email and then you can publish / use thsi form on
another computer.

Have a look n this site:

"Saving and Publishing Outlook Forms"
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=34

Maybe it helps.

Thanks Oliver.
I saved it as "Untitled.oft" then emailed it to work, then saved it to
the desktop. Double-clicking it opened it as the standard form, not my
new "well-designed" (ha-ha-ha!) form. Do I need to publish it first, and
if so, what's the sub-directory called where User-Defined forms are
usually stored - please?

Dear Stephen,

Double-clicking it opened it as the standard form,


This is normally not correct. Normally you must see the new form.

Please delete your "formcache" and try it again.

"How the Outlook forms cache works"
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=64

After you see your corect form, you must publish the form:

How to determine where to publish a custom Outlook form
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290802/en-us

Fro existing contacts you will need a tool that can change the "message
class" of the existing forms.

We developed a freeware tool which change the message class:

DocMessageClass:
