Changing form

I am just starting to learn how to modify the form for
contacts. My question is this: If I modify the form by
adding some data boxes, will it screw up my contacts, or
will the new data boxes just be added to the current
form? Any advise or shortcuts on adding these data boxes
to the form would be appreciated.

Thanks,

In order to avoid cache-ing problems, you need to publish your form+new
changes as under a new name that includes the version number--myform_V2.
Now, all the new items will use that the new form, providing you have made
it the default, and you can run a utility that will mass-change the items
with the old name to items with the new name (ie, change the messageclass
field to the new name), and all your items will display the new form. Easy,
but tedious.
