Adding a field

[Barry Heston]

I have created a field - Spouse Bday. I want it to show up on the main form
in one of my contact subfolders. I have edited and published, but it only
does one contact at a time. I want to make one change to the form for this
specific set of contacts. I am thinking like Access, where you make a change
to a form and they all show it.

Thank you,
Barry Heston

To change existing items so that they display using a published custom message form, you need to change the value of the MessageClass property on each item so that it points to the published form's class, e.g. IPM.Contact.MyForm. The page at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm has links to scripts and tools to do this.
