OK Sue, when is your next book coming out so I can
customize an outlook 2003 contact form with buttons to
open excel Templates and have data imported inside the
template when it oipens....come on I know you figured it
out.

Now this may be easier I can choose a form and publish it
to Personal Form Library. I can change the properties of
the Outlook 2003 "Contacts" folder to choose this
form....with me so far? then I Imported the list from an
excel doc and all 231 Contacts defaulted to the Outlook
form and not mine. HELP Sue.

My book applies to Outlook 2003 as well as 2000 and 2002. Outlook doesn't
support importing to a custom form. You'd have to write custom code or use a
third-party application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm.

I used your code from 2000 (I think) which allowed me to
design a contact form, placing buttons on it to open an
Excel template, have Name address phone and other info
placed inside the template.... Is there an example of
this for 2003? I've been searching and can not find one.

The same code should work with any version of Outlook.
