Can't view custom form

[steve h]

I made a custom contact form. The form allowed me to
update information in my format. It has functioned for
over a month but recently changed. I am still able to open
a new form and enter the information, but when I open the
record it is presented in the default format.
I have tried uninstalling and renaming the form but still
cannot view the entered information in the format I made.
What can i do to restore the record so that when I open it
the new form is used?

It sounds like your changes have caused the form to one-off. Look up
that term in the help file, and at www.slipstick.com for info on what
this means. In bald terms, you will have to through out the new form,
go back to the old working form, and carefully make changes,
differently than before, so that the form doesn't one-off.

You cant iterate over the items in the folder and change the Messageclass to
reflect the Messageclass of your form via script like this:

Dim objItem

for each objItem in activeexplorer.Currentfolder.Items
if objItem.Messageclass <> "IPM.Contact.MyClass" then
objItem.Messageclass = "IPM.Contact.MyClass"
objItem.save
end if
next
