Outlook new forms

[KenInPortland]

Hello, I'm using Outlook 2003 SP2 on XP Pro using Internet mail and having
problems changing the message class for a custom contact form. I have
designed the form used the VBScript procedure outlined in article 201087 to
change the Message Class for existing items. This has worked fine for the
"Contacts" folder, but I have several other contacts folders named "Contacts
Personal", "Contacts Client1" ... and so on, that are not using the custom
form for existing items. I have opened each of these other folders and
executed the .OFT with no success.

What do I need to do to get the Message Class changed for the existing items
in these other contact folders?
Thanks

The script in that article uses this statement to determine what folder to work on:

Set CurFolder = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder

ActiveExplorer is the currently active folder window. Therefore, before you run the script, you should display the folder you want the script to process.

Also note that code doesn't run on a saved .oft file. You'll need to publish the form or put it in design mode and use the Form | Run This Form command.
