Default Applying a changed form to existing contacts

Excuse me...

I have a textfield with a formula like this in it:

[Company] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Full Name] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) &
[Business Address]

The property of the field is set to "Auto calculate field" (or whatever this
is in English - I have a Dutch version) but it only recalculates after a
change to any field.

I'm sure you can, but only you know the details of exactly what formula might be causing the problem. Please don't send us trying to track down another discussion thread. Post the details in this thread.

This is wonderful - it works! I've set my cutomized form as default and thia
works for the existing contacts too. But...

As I open an existing contact (with the new form) and I activate the tab
with the customized textbox (see post: Combining fields and new line), it
shows #ERROR and I have to change something in the form (anything), to get it
to recalculate and display the correct contents. After I save the form, the
correct contents remain.

Can I alter the field or form to avoid this?

(Thanks to Sue Mosher) I've successfully changed my Outlook Contacts form.
Now I would like to apply this changed form to all existing Contacts in my
Contacts folder. How can I do this?
