    I suspect not, but MSFT arbitrarily changed my default account view and I hate it. I had my old one set up perfectly, why they'd mess with my form settings I don't know.

    I suppose I have to build a new form, but just in case I can get my old one back easily without screwing around with building a new one, I thought I'd ask. This happened several weeks ago, and I am finally so frustrated I am going to change it.

    I use Online.

    Thanks.

    I don't know if you can get the old one back, but I strongly recommend making a custom form for your form and setting that as your default.  If you alter the default system form, you run the risk of MS overwriting those changes in an update.  If you make a custom one, even if they change the default back to the system form, all you have to do is change the defualt back to your custom form, no muss, no fuss.  (also, if you install any managed solutions, they won't mess with your custom form)

    Thanks, Wayne. I guess that is what happened. I modified the system form and they screwed with it.

    I'll try building a custom form, I appreciate that insight.
