Moving contacts to new form

G

Guest

I've created a new form for a contact folder that has about 400 existing
records. Can I take my existing contacts on the default contact form and
import/export/move them to the new form that I have designed? Existing
fields remain, but some new ones have been added.

It seems that I should be able to export them, and then import them into the
new form, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it. Thanks for any
info.

No export/import is necessary. You just need to change the value of the MessageClass property 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.
