Outlook 2003, problems when I'd like to create a new contact form

[little_flower]

hello

first i'm sorry for my english, i'm from switzerland and my english is not
that well...

i'd like to create a new contact form. i know, i have to do this in the
design mode. when i change something, the look changes like the contact
forms from the previous outlook versions. this doesn't matter. but at the
previous versions there were a special button next to the phone number
field, and when you clicked on this button, there opened a new window to put
in the correct phone number. at the new look it is integrated at the phone
label. but if i insert new phone fields with label, this function is not
here anymore. how can i create this function to put the details of a phone
number into a new window?
i'd like to know this because later we are going to use a software to make
phone calls with outlook (i don't know how to explain this tool better). and
i guess, the new software or tool needs this addition window with the phone
number details - doesn't it?

i urgently need help and it would be great if anyone could help me to figure
this out!

thank you very much!

best regards,
little_flower

The check phone number button is not available if you customize the first
page of the form. If this is a critical feature, you might want to confine
your customizations to other pages. You can also invoke the automatic phone
number checking with code behind the form. See
http://www.slipstick.com/dev/contactform.htm for information on that and
other limitations.

FYI, there is a separate newsgroup for Outlook forms issues --
microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms.
