Customising the default forms - possible?

[D Smithze]

Hi there,

We are hoping there is a way to customise the default forms that come in
Outlook 2007 Business Contact Manager. We are aware that we can add fields
to the forms and make quite a few changes, but is there a way of changing
the actual default fields that are displays on a form.

For example, lets say that I wanted to change the Business Contact form in
BCM so that the Disaply as Field was hidden.
Is there a way of acheiving this?

Thanks in advance.

That's not supported. Some people have posted explanations of how they
did such in this newsgroup. But they tend to be experts in Outlook
forms.

I was talking to a fellow yesterday that I met at a birthday party. He's a
MS trainer and does a lot with Office apps. Specifically Excel, Outlook and
Access. I asked him about BCM and customizing the forms. He mentioned that
you would be able to develop your own forms in Access and then use those in
Outlook.

I'm going to be meeting with him in the next week or two so he can
demonstrate what we were talking about. If it's applicable and I figure out
what I'm doing... I'll share the results.
