Outlook won't allow two note fields in a Contact form

Needing some custom contact fields,  I managed to design a form using the built-in forms designer. I wasn't able to use the new template style, but it works fairly well. However, I can't seem to get one thing to work.

For contacts I have the usual notes field. But I need another field for personal info that won't get synchronized over to my iPhone.

I call this field "Personal Info". I tried using another notes field, but Outlook won't allow two note fields in a Contact form. So I tried a user defined field, but it won't allow multi-line operation -- only a single line with no carriage returns. I need a field that will allow me to have multiple lines and not sync to my iPhone.
Only 1 Notes field in a form.
 
Use a textbox and set it to multiline. Right-click on the textbox control and select Advanced Properties. The multiline setting is there. Don't forget to bind your field to a user property or the values will be lost when the item is closed.
