Choosing which form to use in folder

[Guest]

Hello.
I created a custom form and published it to a public folder on Exchange 2000
SP3 server. I went into the properties of the public folder from within
Outlook and on the Forms tab chose to use only that form.

But when I open tasks that were created with the default task form they open
with the default task form, rather than with my new custom form. All items
created with the new form open in that.

Is there a way to force ALL items in the public folder to use my new custom
form?

Thanks

You need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your new form's class. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this.
