Sorry if this is a repeat - a copy of my previous email came back as a complete
tangle... Plain text this time.

This is not that simple (unfortunately) as you have to change the message class
of all of the forms and while help (Contents, Advanced Customisation, Working
with forms, Change the form used by existing items in a folder) does provide
an idea of the solution it will take a bit of work to adapt it to your needs.

In some cases you may need to change the form associated with items that are
already in a folder. This is often necessary after importing items, or if you
create a custom form after you have already created items based on a standard
Microsoft Outlook form.
The Message Class field cannot be directly changed using the Outlook user
interface, but you can use VBScript, Visual Basic, or Visual Basic for
Applications to change the Message Class field.
The following Automation code can be used as a basis for developing your own
solution. This code assumes that the name of the new form is MyForm. It will
change all contacts in your default contacts folder so that they will use
MyForm.
Sub ChangeMessageClass()
Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set olNS = olApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set ContactsFolder = _
olNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
Set ContactItems = ContactsFolder.Items
For Each Itm in ContactItems
If Itm.MessageClass <> "IPM.Contact.MyForm" Then
Itm.MessageClass = "IPM.Contact.MyForm"
Itm.Save
End If
Next
End Sub

Someone somewhere must have used this code to generate a macro that will do a
'general' job...If not, and I can find the time, it shouldn't be too hard - and
would be pretty useful.

I have an outlook form that is associated with a mailbox. I want to replace
this form with a different one. Any ideas of where to do this? I don't seem
to find it anywhere.
thanks in advance
