Default Move Contacts from an Existing Form Into a New Form

Does anyone know if this is possible without code? Is there any kind of
add-on knocking around that would enable me to do this?

If code is my only option, do I need to open up the customised form and add
it in from there? :S

All help gratefully recieved.

No, it's not possible without code (or a tool that runs its own code). The code required is not in the custom form itself, but in an external script or VBA macro to change the value of the MessageClass property on each item so that it points to your published form instead of to the default IPM.Contact form. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm

Hi,

Thanks once again - all sorted now! I went to the Outlookcode link and
followed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/201089/EN-US/ and a simple macro
did the trick.

Phew! What a relief

Kind regards - Hal
