Default Custom Contact User-Defined Fields Blank

I created a custom contact form in Outlook 2003. We have 4 users in total,
each with the same exact version of Outlook. I sent an .oft file to the
other 3 thru email since we do not have an Exchange system but rather an SQL
server. The forms were then opened and published onto each computer and
seemed to be working just fine, even applying the form to the current folder.

The problem arises upon ENTERING information into the Contact at this point.
When I enter information, it either does not show up on their end or it
ERASES what was in that field before and leaves it blank. If THEY enter
something into the user defined field, it erases it on all of the other
computers, etc.

I know it may be an issue that the "user-defined fields in folder" on their
computers is not completely populated and I'm not sure WHY it is not or if
that is the issue. The fields show up, just not in the All Fields section.
I tried recreating the user-defined field on another computer by selecting
"New" next to its field name in Properties, and was able to successfully add
it to the user-defined fields in folder. But it did not help the situation
in Sharing information. Any siggestions or insight?
