Forms

I have a custom form that I'm using in Outlook 2003 for displaying individual contacts. When I sync to my laptop, the form does not work. It shows the standard form for each client.

I tried copying the outlook file but it still doesn't work. I tried to bring up the form to edit it, but it doesn't display. The form name, however, does exist.

Any thoughts on how I can get this to work :?:

Thanks.

Hello,

there are several ways you can store your Outlook Form. Microsoft advices to store the form in a separate *.oft file
1. On the File menu, click Save As.
2. In the File name box, type a name for the form.
3. In the Save as type box, click Outlook Template, and then click Save.
then, if you transfer the *.oft file onto another computer and enable it, it should work fine, synchronized data will appear using this form.

Please let me know if you will see any problems with it.
