New Contacts added through email response don't use custom form

[Carol Steinel]

I have created a custom form, published it, and assigned it as the "default
form" for Contacts.

I have changed my existing contacts to this form using the "Change Form"
add-in.

All is fine for new contacts I create, but when a new contact is added
automatically when I respond to an email, it posts to the default contact
form. Also, when I try to use "Change Form" on these contacts, they don't
convert.

How do I change this so that new contacts created by my email response use
the custom form?

Thanks in advance for any information.

If you have Outlook 2000 or 2002, you can make a registry change to substitute your custom form for the default form. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/newdefaultform.htm#changedefault .
