I would like to add a field called "Relationship" to the other contact
details (Full Name, Address, Phone numbers, etc.) in my Contacts in Outlook
XP, can this be done?

What I have done so far is gone into the Contact and into the All Fields
tab, where I clicked on New and added a text field called "Relationship".
But I would like this field to appear on the General tab if possible? Is
it?

Hello,

I've just noticed that the field "Relationship" I just added only appears
for that specific contact. :-(

Is there a way to add a field for ALL contacts? Can I add, for example, the
spouse's Birthday?

Tools->forms->design a form. Then make the new form your default form. See
this page for more information:

See this page for how to force the new format for already created contacts:

Hi Milly,

Thanks for the tips and the links. I eventually got it sorted - I used a
little program from one of the links below called DocMessageClass after I
published my new form and it changed all the existing records to the new
form. :-)

Thanks again. Lots of useful help and downloads on that site. :-)

| Be careful when a loop exits to the same place from side and bottom.
