Wierd issue with viewing Custom forms in Outlook 2003

[Ned S]

My outlook folder (contact based) has a custom form that is set as the default form and the only form associated with the folder - standard forms are not allowed either. When I create a new entry or view any of the current entries the form opens automatically. Good so far. - When I search for a specific entry with the find command and open it up, it only opens with Outlooks standard Contact form. This only happens when using Outlook 2003. With Outlook XP after a find command is used for a specific entry and then I open that entry the custom form opens up. Thoughts??

Known problem. The workaround is to either use Advanced Find or publish the
form to Personal Forms or Organizational Forms.
