How do I create my own default contact template?

[racjstevens]

I have made some changes to the contact card template in Outlook, and I want
to save it and either make it the default or make it an option when I upload
new contacts into outlook. This is a dance studio contact database, and we
are switching to Outlook, and I am trying to avoid creating the entire
database from scrath. Or, importing them as is, then changing/editing every
single contact card through 'design form'.

Anyone get what I am trying to do and have an answer for me? Thanks!

I understand your question. If you want an answer, you should post in the
programming group where such issues are discussed.

You need to publish it as a custom form and then set it as the default form.
See http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/publish_form.htm

to change existing items to the new form:
