Form Design/Basics and Specifics

[greenstrat]

have designed forms in both MS Access and ACT. Form design seems pretty self
explanatory from a format standpoint. What I'm looking to do is
1) create new user fields
2) add some of the new user fields, as well as default fields to current
forms, for instance there there is a ton of empty space at the bottom of the
DETAILS Tab/form
3) add some user fields and default fields, and slip in another form between
GENERAL and ACTIVITIES tabs/forms.

I need the changes to show up across my entire contact universe, not just in
a specific contact--my current experiments only show up on the contact that
was open during my form design.

Thanks

1) See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/fields.htm for information on best practices for custom fields.

2-3) The Details tab is not editable. The General page and P.2-P.6 are. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/contactform.htm

After you complete the form design, you'll need to publish the form. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/pubform.htm and http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm
