Default Change existing public contacts

Hi All,
I have a custom public contact list in public folders (I've added a user
field in P.2 tab). Once creating a new contact, I can see the new tab.
How can I deploy the custom contact card upon the existing (hundreds)
contacts I have in this folder?
Thanks a lot in advance....

Default Change existing public contacts

To change existing items so that they display using a published custom message form, you need to change the value of the MessageClass property on each item so that it points to the published form's class, e.g. IPM.Contact.MyForm. The page at http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=39 has links to scripts and tools to do this.
