Why in ol2003 when I try to design the standard contact form (i just want to
add 1 extra field) does the design tool completely change the form to
something that looks older (and with no picture facility)?

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.outlookcode.com/d/formpicture.htm#control .

For other contact form idiosyncracies, see
