Outlook 20002 Apply new form to existing contacts

[Guest]

I have added several fields to a a form in Outlook 2002 and have saved it.
When I create a new contact, the form appears with those fields, however when
I pull up an existing contact, those fields do not show. Is there a way to
apply that form to my exisitn 3000 contacts?? I would appreciate any
suggestions. Thanks!

You need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your
new form's class. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools
and scripts to accomplish this
