Replace Contact Form with Custom Form
 

I've created a form with additional drop-down boxes and new fields. It work
when ADDING new contacts. But I want the Custom Form to be the default for
contacts previously entered before the creation of the Custom Form.

How do I do this? Does it require VB code? I'm rather savvy with VB, but
simply don't know where in Outlook I "start" the VB processing. Would it be
a macro?

Thanks,
Jonathan Mulder

Yes, you can do this with an Outlook VBA macro, writing code to update the value of the MessageClass property to point to your published form. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm
