Default Posting to Custom Contacts Form


I understand that when posting to a custom form items that have been
added using the default Outlook form are opened with the default Outlook
form.
Is there any way to open these items using my custom form? I originally
imported the data from an Access 2003 db.

Thanks,
James

You need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your
new form's class. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools
and scripts to accomplish this.
