Help with deleting custom form...

[Wayne Tang-Hong Lai]

Hi all,

I am new to Outlook 2002. I created a custom form and placed it in the
Personal Folders. Now I am able to modify it but am not able to delete it. I
try to delete it by going to Tools/Options/Others/Advanced/Custom
Forms/Manage Forms and selecting Person Folders, but I don't see the form at
all! I also try it from Tools/Forms/Design a form and look into Person
Folders. Well, I see the form, but the delete button is grayed out... I also
downloaded OutlookSpy but it's too complicated for me to use. Please advice.

Thanks,
Tang-Hong

Did you publish it to Personal Folders or Personal Forms? They're not the
same. *where* do you see the form?

I published it to Personal Folders, not Personal Forms.

In that case, if you don't feel up to digging around with Outlook Spy, I'd
just stop worrying about it. Having a form published to the root of your
Personal Folders file shouldn't do any harm.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for your help. I have another question. When I add a new contact
using the custom contact form, I notice that the icon is changed. When the
view is by category, the first column is sort by icon by default and the old
contacts have a contact icon. The new contacts created by the custom contact
form has another icon (a green/blue pin with a yellow paper). How do I
change it?

Thanks,
Tang-Hong

You set the icon for a custom form on the (Properties) page of the form, in
design mode, then republish the form.
