Converting one outlook contact form to another outlook contact form
I want to convert one outlook contact form to another outlook contact
form. I have read some posts that talk about using microsofts form converion tool to do so. I have not seen however any information that talks about someone doing this and the custom information from one form gets transfered to the other. Specifically I have one custom field I would like to travel to the different form. Any words of wisdom? Thanks. Tyler |

It's not clear from your post exactly what you're trying to do. It could be any of the following:
1) Copy a custom field from the design of one custom form to the design of another custom form 2) Convert items using a particular custom form so that they use a different custom form 3) Create a new custom form based on an existing form The only "information" that a custom form contains is the information about its user interface, the fields it supports, and the code behind it. Please let us know what you're trying to accomplish. -- 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 wrote in message ups.com...

Sorry, I will try to be more clear. We have two custom forms, form A
and B. One is no longer used and we want to convert all of the contacts using form A to form B so that every contact is using the same form. There is a custom field in both forms that we want to make sure the data is brought across to these contacts when they are converted from A to B. Thanks. |

In that case, you simply need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your new form's class, e.g. IPM.Contact.FormB. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this.
Make sure that the form definition for FormB includes the custom property, visible on the User-defined Fields in This Item list on the All Fields page. -- 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 wrote in message oups.com...
