How do I create my own default contact template?
I have made some changes to the contact card template in Outlook, and I want
to save it and either make it the default or make it an option when I upload new contacts into outlook. This is a dance studio contact database, and we are switching to Outlook, and I am trying to avoid creating the entire database from scrath. Or, importing them as is, then changing/editing every single contact card through 'design form'. Anyone get what I am trying to do and have an answer for me? Thanks!

How do I create my own default contact template?
I am not on an exchange server...and I don't understand what 'folder' I am supposed to 'publish' my form to.

How do I create my own default contact template?
Publish the form to the folder that contains the contacts with which you want
to use the form. If you keep your dance studio contacts in a separate folder, it would be that folder. If you keep them in your default Contacts folder, publish the form there. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "racjstevens" wrote: I am not on an exchange server...and I don't understand what 'folder' I am supposed to 'publish' my form to.

How do I create my own default contact template?
Ok. I've published the folder to the studio contact address book, and i can now enter new contacts with the new template, which is great. Now how do I import my contact list of 200 into Outlook and have it put them in that form rather than the default outlook contact form? Everytime I try, I do not get an option to choose which one. I've tried to understand what they are saying about this is in the link you gave me, but I'm not that kind of a techy. I'm good with computers, but I'm not a programmer. Thanks for the help!

You're importing from some external source? Perform the import first then use
Contact Genie or one of the other tools listed under Convert Existing Items in the article I originally cited -- http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=39 -- to change the value of the MessageClass property on each item so that it points to the newly published custom form. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "racjstevens" wrote: Ok.
