I have been using forms I created for contacts.
Outlook now won't recognize my forms and has reverted back to its own form,
so I can't see a lot of the data I created for contacts, unless I create
special views
It will recognize the forms for new contacts.
When I try to republish the forms, I get a message about the object can not
be found do to a MAPI error.
How can I apply the custom forms I have to the existing data??
 
Outlook 2003
Published in "personal Forms library"
"the custom form could not be found. Outlook will use an outlook form
instead. The object could not be found"

However, it works fine when adding a new contact as I set the form to use in
the properties section of the various folders. I only get the message with
existing contacts. The existing contacts were input using my custom forms.
 
Check the value of the Message Class field on the existing items that cause
problems. Does it match the name of your published custom form?

Have you cleared the forms cache? Installed Office 2003 Service Pack 1?

Service pack 1 is successfully installed.
How do I check the message class field you refer to?
Also, still getting a MAPI error when I try to republish the form
Problem still exists
 
You can add the Message Class field to any view.

Does the error occur when you publish just this form or all forms? To one
specific location or to all locations?
