I am trying to add a user defined field control to the
default contact form, when I go into design mode I can do
it but the change is for the current Contact ONLY....

You need to publish the form and then 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.

I did download the DocMessageClass.exe but I am having

problems. This application requests that Outlook be
defined as our default mail client. I don't want to make
outlook my default....we are "forced" to use Lotus Notes
at work.

Thanks much
Matt

You run the script only once to convert all existing items to the custom form. Maybe you can change the default long enough to run the script?
