Trying to use my new form
I have created a custom form. I published it in contacts since it is a
contact form. I right clicked on contacts and am attempting to make it my default form. I am following all the instructions I can find but it is simply not working. What is curious to me is the area titled "Allow these forms in this folder" is shadowed out -- not allowing me to select any of the three options in the box. I have read a number of threads that pertain to my problem but I still do not have an answer. I have created a very elaborate customized form and need to use it very badly -- but I'm stuck! Can someone help me? Thanks, Dale Bennett

Trying to use my new form
To set the default form for the folder, use the "When posting to this folder, use" dropdown on the General tab.

Yes -- yes -- yes! Nowhere in any book that I read did it make reference to
that which you advised. Many kudos. -- Thanks, Dale Bennett "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: To set the default form for the folder, use the "When posting to this folder, use" dropdown on the General tab. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Dale Bennett" wrote in message ...

Trying to use my new form
Sue,
I still have a problem, however. When I created my new form, I started with a standard form because I was instructed to from some manual. And I foolishly left data in the General tab area (e.g. full name, e-mail addresses, phone number, etc.). Now, when I attempt to create a new record all of the old data is retained. I have attempted to delete it and save -- but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions, Thanks, Dale Bennett "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: To set the default form for the folder, use the "When posting to this folder, use" dropdown on the General tab. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Dale Bennett" wrote in message ...

Trying to use my new form
If you started with a standard form, the item created from that form would have been blank, containing no data. Maybe you started from an existing item? In any case, you should be able to delete any unwanted data from the All Fields page in design mode, then republish the form.
