How do I modify the standard Tasks form in Outlook?

[Guest]

I am trying to add custom categories to my standard Tasks form.
Specifically, I want to add "$ Opportunity" and "Type of Work" to the form.
That way, whenever I add a new task for a specific contact, I can also add
that information to the task. I figured out how to create a new form that
has this information, but I would like to create a new Tasks default form.

If you have Outlook 2000 or later, you can make a registry change to substitute your published custom form for the default form. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#changedefault .

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...spx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms
