Contact Custom Form

[John M]

I am developing a form to use in the real estate business and with a
book I am writing. The letters I have in the book will be used to
mail merge with the form and various custom fields on the form. I
have the form and the mail merge working good, but I do have a couple
of questions:

First, how do you make this form the "default" form when you click on
the new contact button? Right now I have to go through several steps
to get to the new form I created.

Second, if I put this form on a CD to sell to other real estate
agents, how can they use this form from the CD (or install from the
CD) so that they can use it as a default contact form to perform mail
merge with my letters?

I appreciate any help offered.

1) See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm

2) Ideally, you'd provide a script that installs the form to the user's
Personal Forms library, using the FormDescription.PublishForm method. See
