How do I get a .csv file to import into a custom Contact Form?

I have designed a Custom Contact Form for a certain Contact folder and I have
assigned that Form to both the folder and subfolder. When I open up a
contact when in that folder, it does open up the new Custom Folder. The
problem is that I am trying to import a csv file into the Custom Form but
Outlook 2003 is defaulting to the standard Contact form and so is deleting
out precious data that I want to import.

Clarification of the previous entry.

I have designed a Custom Contact Form for a certain Contact folder and I have
assigned that Form to both the folder and subfolder. When I open up a
Contact when in that folder, it does open up the new Custom Form, so I know
the settings are right. The problem is that I am trying to import a .csv
file into the Custom Form but Outlook 2003 is defaulting to the standard
Contact form and so is deleting out precious data that I want to import.

No Outlook version provides for importing data to contacts using a custom
form (or to any user-defined fields without the use of a custom form). You
will need to use a 3rd party product or write your own code.

P.S.
I also have custom fields in this custom form. I have visited other
conversation on this site that talk about 3rd party applications to allow a
custom form to be used with custom fields. What are they?

P.S.S
I have dowloaded DocMessageClass but it doesn't show anything in "Change
MessageClass(es) from:". However I do have a selection in "Change
MessageClass to:" and it gives me the option to choose the new form. Because
of this, the "Convert MessageClass" icon is greyed out.

Your answer resolves my problem thank you. Please ignore the PS and PSS
entries that were typed as you were inputing you reply to me.
