To change existing items so that they display using a published custom message form, you need to change the value of the MessageClass property on each item so that it points to the published form's class, e.g. IPM.Contact.MyForm. The page at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm has links to scripts and tools to do this.

The symptoms suggest that the form has become a one-off, that is, embedded in the item. There are many possible causes; see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formpub.htm#macro
