Am I only able to edit the General tab in Outlook's Contacts form? I'm
using Outlook XP (soon to be moving to Outlook 2003) and I cannot seem to
add or alter tabs such as Details, where the Birthday and Anniversary dates
appear. :-(

Ah that site again, thanks Milly,

Had a *very* quick search for 2003 and forms and couldn't find anything, but
will look again in the morning, 5:30am here. :-)

You cannot edit the Details tab. This is a known issue with Outlook's contact form in all versions. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/contactform.htm for others. The one we need to add for 2003 is the inability to get the same look for the General tab with the new photo control.

Yeah I tried editing the new contact form and it goes back to the old
contact form, is there no way you can edit the new 2003 contact form?

It looks like the old form in edit mode but reverts to the new form
when published. Just leave room for the new photo field if you change
the first tab at all. A picture is stored as an attachment, BTW.
 
I would be very surprised if Microsoft changed the design mode contact form
to make the picture control available to developers.
