Cannot open .oft forms in Outlook 2007.

After I have upgraded Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007, I can't open .oft forms
in Outlook.
What could I possibly do to solve that?

I receive the error below:

Outlook blocked access to the file type of form.

I am opening using "double click".

Are you opening it from the file system? Only very basic oft files can be
opened on a double click from explorer. Others need to be opened using
tools, forms, choose a form.

Diane,

That's right.
But in Outlook 2003, I had the same problem.
After I created the following key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\Mail]
"AllowMSGFilestoCreateProps"=dword:00000001
Outlook worked correctly.
Is there a solution for Outlook 2007 like this?

No, at this time there is no solution as Outlook 2007 doesn't support the
registry key.

What happens when you try?
Which method of opening are you using?



After I have upgraded Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007, I can't open
.oft
forms
in Outlook.
What could I possibly do to solve that?
