How to import data to custom form?

[Guest]

I'm very new to Outlook programming so this may be a "no brainer". But, I've
created a custom contact form and associated it with a contact folder. When
I import data to that folder (from an Excel file), the import is successful
but when I open any of the contacts it uses the default contact form rather
than my custom form. If I manually add a new contact in the folder it uses
my custom form and when I open contacts created with the custom form the
custom form is displayed. I'd like to know how to use the custom form when
importing data to the folder.

Thanks in advance for any help, guidence, or ideas.

Outlook doesn't support importing to a custom form. You'd have to write
custom code or use a third-party application. See
