When I add a contact (Actions>New Contact), a form comes up. The address is
in a order I don't like and there is no field displayed for middle name (I
have to go to the "All Fields" tab to find that). Is there a way for me to
modify this form?



Thanks for any help,



Huck
 
Thanks. The article is informative.
I found that the form that comes up on my laptop is different than the one
that comes up on my desktop. the desktop form used to be the same, but
changed at some unknown moment. It is the old form that I want to use. How
could this have changed?

thanks,

Huck
 
did you customize the form that looks old? you lose the new stuff when you
change the form.

why can't you just type the middle name in the format of first middle last?
outlook is generally smart enough to know the middle name is the middle
name...

what don't you like about the address?
 
I didn't make any changes to the form. It just showed up different
one day. I don't know how it happened. Obviously something
happened. I just want to get it back to what I think is the default
form.

The new form, that I don't like, has a line for first name and a line
for last name, no line for middle name. If I put the middle name with
the first it confuses the voice recognition software that my PDA uses.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Huck
