Decided to try a add a couple of simple fields to my Contact form. First,
Let me say that the Outlook on my PC has been upgraded twice. From 2000 to XP
to 2003.
When I open the design form mode and add fields all Ok. But Format is not
like my new default 2003 contact form. It is like old 2000 and Xp look. Is
this by design?
This does not change after I publish a form. The new form is really the old
look Outlook. Can I add fields to the new-contact form of 2003??

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
