Strange icon next to contact
I am using Outlook 2007. I created a new contact and for some reason it has
an odd icon and the contact doesn't show up when I try to send an e-mail. The icon is a little note with a thumbtack in it. As I said before, when I try to type an e-mail to this person, Outlook doesn't find the contact, even when I specifically look in my personal contacts listing (I am on a company-wide network and have access to numerous shared contact listings). I tried to recreate the contact from scratch again, and the second contact also was labeled with this odd icon. |

that icon is the default icon for custom forms - did you create a custom
contact form? -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

Strange icon next to contact
I was looking at the custom forms, but I never created one (at least not on
purpose). How do I delete the custom form (or recreate this contact using a standard contact form)?

Hopefully this isn't a duplicate reply. I did look at the custom forms on
this contact, but never made any type of form (that I am aware of). And, when I go into the contact, I do not see any custom form anywhere. However, if I did, how can I either delete the form, or recreate the contact without re-activating the form. As I said before, right now the contact does not show up when I try to send an e-mail to him, even when I search the contacts folder that holds his card.
