Customizing "General" tab

[Paul Spannuth]

I use Outlook as my business data base. I view contacts
by category. When I double click on a contact, a box
shows up where I can input my data. I don't know what MS
calls this box. I would like to add some custom fields
that show up on the "General" tab. I have been able to
add a field that shows up on the list of contacts and
when I fill it in from the list, then and only then will
the field show up on the box that opens up when I double
click on it, but I have to click on the "All Fields" tab
to see it. Is there a way for me to create a box for
this info to show up on the "General" tab?
Thanks

You need to add a textbox control to the form in design mode and to preserve
its contents link it to a user property. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms.htm for information to get you started.
