Custom Form Won't Keep Formatting After Saving

[Guest]

I have a created an extensive new contact custom form. In design mode and
when creating a new contact all the fields are in the proper location and the
drop down has the correct items. However, after saving the form, upon
re-opening, the form is not the same. It is the only form in this contact
public folder and was published directly to that folder. What gives? Why
does my form change after saving a contact?

Thanks!

A form run from a public folder does not have the same processing that a form
has when it is run from a personal mailbox. So, if you really need all
goodies you get from a personal mailbox, then create a dummy user and use
that user to simulate a public folder; that is, give owner permissions to
everyone, ...
