Designing my own page

[stevel]

i am currently trying to redesign the standard form in outlook contacts. When
i open the design form it gives me tabs that i do not wish to use. Is there a
way to delete the tabs i do not require.

Also I need to link this to the current contacts file so that i can move the
old data accross. How do i do this.

Yes, there's a Show This Page toggle command in form design.

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.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...spx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms
