Cannot Publish/Open custom form

[SonomaEnterprises]

I have a COM Add-in that opens a pst file (that contains custom forms
published to folders) and used the custom forms to publish to the personal
forms Library.

On one workstation when this code fires it errors out on the
customProperty_change event of the form under the code set oPage =
Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("Location...")

Also, on this workstation if I attempt to create a new custom form
(Tools-Forms-Design a Form) based on the contact, Post, Message, etc it
errors with the message "The form you selected could not be displayed".

Also, if I attempt to open the source pst and create a new form based on the
the custom form I get the error "The Messaging Interface has returned an
unknown error..."

Any Ideas??

Hi

Based on my understanding, do you mean the problem occured on certian
machine only?
If you use the same outlook profile on another machine all is OK, or use
another outlook profile all will be OK.
If I have any misunderstanding, please feel free to post here.

I think you may try to recreate your outlook profile to see if that works.

In addition to what Peter mentioned there was a change in behavior in
Outlook 2003 SP2, is that installed on the problem machine?

I'm afraid that due to this change we're going to have to change the way we
distribute forms, the old put them in a PST file method won't fly any more.
They're going to have to be distributed now as OFT files and published
programmatically from there using CreateItemFromTemplate.

There's a new KB out that describes the new behavior, unfortunately I don't
have the number handy but a search in the KB should find it.

It is only on one machine, I will try to create a new profile and see if I
get the same result.

I will lookup the KB article, thanks.
