I am planning on installing OL 2007 this weekend. I have many custom fields
in Outlook 2003. Will the information in these stay with the contacts?

Also, will I need to redesign my contact custom form or will this be brought
forward into 2007?

Thanks for the help.

As long as you're using the same data store, both the fields and the form should work the same.

Thanks Sue. I presume you mean by 'data store' a pst file? The custom
fields are in my contact custom form. So does that mean the info will be
carried forward into 2007?

As Sue said, only if you reuse your .pst file and don't try the import option.

Yes, a .pst file is a data store. So is an Exchange mailbox. We had no way of knowing which you use.

The data is not in the form. The data is in the contact items, which won't change when you use the in a different version of Outlook.

Make that "when you use the same .pst file in a different version"
