How do I create a custom form in business account manager?

[b4stille]

I am using office small business edition 2003. I am attempting to add a
custom field to the accounts within business accounts manager. When I go to
tools/forms/design a form then I select business contact manager from the
pull-down menu the only entry available is "message".

They are not customizable by design. If you search this newsgroup
you'll find some tips from people who've done this successfully, but
its painful and there are a bunch of caveats.

Thank you for your help Luther.

Microsoft - I find it ludicrous that my client just paid
several hundred dollars for the small business edition office 2003 and small
business account software packages and can't even customize the forms to fit
his business model. He's going back to quickbooks. Microsoft leaves a bad
taste in his mouth. He's thinking ubuntu and staroffice.
