Applying custom forms to a Contact list

[Olaf Vogel]

Hi,

I've got a large list of Contacts and have created a
custom contacts form. I published the form, and when
adding a new contact, the form does get used by default.

But how do I apply the form to existing contacts?

Thanks

You need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your new form's class. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this easily.
