Second reply.
I have now corrected my problem of the default form. I can now click on NEW
- CONTACT and the correct customised form opens.
I right clicked on properties and in the section WHEN POSTING TO THIS
FOLDER, USE: I changed it to the relevant form. Although when i go back to
this section it still shows IPM.Contact - but it is working ok.
I still have the second set of Contacts (empty) but still showing on the
Folder View and in All contact Items. Although I have moved my CONTACTS VM up
to the top.
