How can I trigger the events in Outlook from Contacts List

[Satish Boddapati]

Hello Everybody,
Can you please suggest me on how to trigger the events/procedures that
were written in VBScript and placed in a customised outlook contact form when
user enters/modifies the information from Contact List (these should be
triggered as they do trigger from normal contact form).
Please note that the customised contact form was made as the default form in
Outlook.

You didn't say what events you have in mind. Write should definitely fire when the user modifies an item in the folder view.

Sue,
I mean the Item_Propertychange event. So that I will trigger the
procedures from this event depending on the user modification to any of the
fields.
One more thing, is there any procedure to overwrite the setting from
IPM.Conact ti IPM.Conact.CustContact (this is the published name of my
customised contact form) in the Registry.
Thanks in advance for your suggestion to my problem.

Sue
I mean I want to trigger Item_PropertyChange event when user modifies any
of the contents in List Pane of Contacts.
One more thing, How to overwrite the Setting from IPM.Contact to
IPM.Contact.CustContact (this is my customised contact form) in the registry
so that it will open this new form for both the Existing and New contacts.
Sue, I tried with the links provided in your site, it is doing the trick.
But, if I wnat to do the same operation at may client place..I cannot be able
to do this..Can we write any script for this operation to get performed on
its own when user installs my application.

Thanks in advance for your suggestion

PropertyChange should fire code in a custom form for an item created with that custom form, regardless of where the user modifies it.

One more thing, is there any procedure to overwrite the setting from
IPM.Conact ti IPM.Conact.CustContact (this is the published name of my
customised contact form) in the Registry.

Use your favorite registry coding routine. If you don't have one, Google is your friend.
