Custom fields on default Contacts form

Is it possible to have user-defined fields appear on the default Contacts
form? If so, how is this done. I'm not having any luck creating
user-defined fields. It seems that I have to create an entirely new form.
Thanks.

You need to design a new contact form with the desired fields. Then publish
it and make it the default form. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=39 for details.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the
hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at
