I am trying to create a custom contact form that suits my needs for real estate using Outlook 2007.

In contacts I go to tools/forms/design a new form and I choose contacts. The option to choose a file name is grayed out. I do get a form to show up and I am able to create the form with the fields I want.

I cannot save the file. When I do I get the following message: "the file as a field for this contact is empty. You may not have entered a name or company. Do you want to save this contact with an empty file as a field"? I assume this has something to do with the grayed out file name.

Am I missing a step?
 
Sorry - I took off most of last week and it looks like my helpers took vacation too. :)

The File Name field under the Display name is always grayed.

On the second problem - field is empty error - you are using Save. You need to use Publish or Outlook icon, Save as, template.
