I have custom contact fields that are a part of a custom form, lets call it
"IPM.custom2." These same fields are also used in one of 3 form regions I
am using.

I had 4 custom views set up with these fields as columns. A few days ago,
when I clicked on one of my custom views, only the standard fields in the
contact form showed. I went into Customize View and added the fields that
way, clicked thru to ok, and nothing.

I then opened the field chooser in the view, dragged the custom fields to
the screen. That works UNTIL I go into a different folder and back again.
The custom fields are gone, even though the Current View shows as the one
with these custom fields.

I've searched here and googled, and I can't seem to find an answer. Can
someone help?? And thank you in advance.

Bumping this as I never got any replies and still have the problem

Did you try making a new custom view and applying it?

Thanks for your reply.....

I did. In the custom view tab I can select the custom form with the fields.
I then select a few of them to display, click apply view. Only the regular
OL fields show. The custom ones do not.

and the fields are available in that folder? try resetting the views - this
will wipe out all custom views though.

At start menu, run, type
outlook.exe /cleanviews
