Custom Contact Forms and User Defined Properties
I have created a very simple Contact custom form (no user defined fields, no
macros, etc.). I have made this form the default form for a contact folder.
When I create a contact, the form appears and I enter data into the form. One
things happens:
- After I save the form and I view it using the View->Current View->Phone
List, it comes up as a note icon with a pin through it and not as a contact
icon. Why is that? If I look at the MessageClass field, it states that it is
IPM.Contact.MyTestForm. Obviously there is an issue with that. Does anyone
have any hints as to how the form can be saved properly?
Consequently, if I edit the contact and add a user defined field, ALL the
user defined fields that are being displayed disappear and I no longer have
access to the user defined fields for that contact. It seems that using the
default custom contact forms in Outlook corrupts the access to user defined
fields for the Contacts OR the saving of the contact with the incorrect type
causes it to break the link with User Defined Fields (since user defined
fields are not supported for the Notes). I'd expect Custom Contact Forms to
support user defined fields.
Does anyone have any insight into this?
