under tools, my new form is listed---- but it down't show up in the forms
library yet QUESTION ONE --- how do I safely (without using code) get my existing 100 contacts info to be arranged into the new form? also, should I be exporting ( cut and pasting into excell) all my existing contacts info for backup first ----- I imagine the answer would be yes......... QUESTION 2 ((someone in my contacts needs just all her email addresses updated --- she has mostly accurate data for all the other info with alot of same names/ companies that I have in my database........ can I cut and paste into excell all the companies names, contact names, and emails ---- send the file to her, and then she from her excell program imports the new information (clicking yes to update existing info in her copy of outlook contacts??? ))) she has an older version- non-updated email addresses--- of the same data we'r working on --- also she has updated addresses fields tho |

If it is showing up in your tools list, that means you published it to that folder. It will not show up in the forms library, as if by magic. You have to use the forms manager to move it there. From the folder in which it appears in the tools list, right-click the folder, choose properties and then click the Forms tab, which contains the Forms manager. Point the source control at your current folder and select the forms. Point the destination control at the forms library where you want it, and click the arrow to move it across. Presuming you want to use the Exchange Organizational Forms Library, make sure the Exchange Admin has given you permission to write to it before you attempt to move it. Hollis D.

I work for a small nonprofit group for pastors and outreach organization leaders who meet once monthly as well as have an annual "love your city" churches responding to neibourhood needs (free pop/ bbqs/ repair roofs/ clean up yards) event......so need distribution centers for promo items, ect ... comprehensive new form I have permission from our Tech person to change all our contacts to this form..... we'v backed up the hard-drive to cds, saved existing format of contacts to excell files so objectives..KEEPING IN MIND I'M USING OUTLOOK/ MICROSOFT OFFICE 2000.. #1 - to achive a more streamlined approach for recording the subscriptions to the once monthly email that goes out detailing the upcoming meeting...... and for recruiting and organizing the existing contacts, and new schools who wish to participate in our once yearly event #2 - to safely "migrate" all existing contacts/ info (I believe it is on the default form provided by outlook) to my new form - so far the only way i'v seen on the internet is to use Outlook 2000 Existing Items Converter http://www.microsoft.com/office/orka...l.htm#ConvPack which the above page now says has been taken off the downloads page because of security issues........ so now I'm lost....... Thanks for your help on the previous issue............. can u help me with this one? "Hollis D.

I just talked to our tech people........ they aren't experienced in coding
stuff, so they wouldn't be comfortable (ie don't want to --- sort of against operational policy/ way they do things) adding actual code to the programming of out lok --- ie adding macros or anything like that any way that the conversion of the forms can take place otherwise....... like... should I just modify the existing default form, but save it under another name??? will that work........ (i'm guessing not...... because it would be a DIFFERENT form....... but maybe instead of having the changes existing in an altogether different area of outlook.....and the hassels of moving the new "entity" around......)
