How do i convert existing forms to custom forms in outlook 2003

[Guest]

Hi, I hope someone can help me out on this please. It is very important for
me to not have to do this the long way. I Made a custom form for all of my
outlook contacts awhile back, and have been using them ever since with no
problems. Today i downloaded the AIM sync, and it reverted all of my contacts
back to the original forms. I have no idea how to get my old form veiw back
for all of my contacts. I know that in office 2000, there was a nice form
converter tool. However, this won't work on my office 2003 outlook. I was
wonering if anyone knows how i can convert all of my contacts back to my
custom form? I have about 800 contacts that all ave the same problem, and i
was hoping someone could please help me. I am using Outlook 2003 SP1.

Dear Ted,

have a look on this site for a solution:
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm

To use the tool (DocMessageClass, Freeware) to change the message class of
your Outlook form use this download link:
http://www.publicshareware.com/download/DocMessageClass.zip

The link on outlookcode is a broken link for this tool.

Dear Ted,

thank you for this response.

We developed this tool, because we also become mad with our custom forms
after we updated Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2002.
