contacts form

[Ponch]

Hello,

I have a contacts 'public folder' on my exchange server with many items.
They are all created with the standard form.
Now i created a new form for this contacts folder and made him default form.
If i make new contacts, i get my new form.
Is it also possible to transfer my old contacts to this new form?
I don't want to retype everything again.
I use outlook 2003 as client.

Tx, for help,

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/d/newdefaultform.htm has links to scripts and tools to do this.
