Customizing Contacts Form in OL 2003

[Jim Matthews]

I have installed Office 2003 on a clean machine (no upgrade), including OL
2003

I have a need to customize rhe Contacts form, and when I use the Tool -->
Forms --> Design this form, what comes up is the OL 2002 form, not the OL
2003 form

Anybody know ehere the correct form is ?

Thanks

JM

That *is* the correct form. The new contact form layout in OL2003 and the
included picture control are not available to programmers, who will see the
older layout when they put an Outlook 2003 contact form into design mode.
One workaround is to use an image control, as described at
http://www.slipstick.com/dev/formpicture.htm#control .

For other contact form idiosyncracies, see
