Custom Form Receipt Errors

[Jesslyn Hendrix]

I have a few custom forms that have been working fine in our enterprise on
Outlook XP. THey were all re-published to the Organizational Library using
Outlook 2003 when we upgraded Outlook, but now the code does not seem to be
executing after the form has been sent. We are running Outlook 2003 SP1,
Office XP SP3. Any suggestions? Is there a problem with custom forms now
that they want you to use InfoPath? I plan on implementing the remainder of
Office 2003 later this year, but for now I really need to fix this issue.

Tell us more about whta kind of forms these are and how they're used -- particularly where the data items are stored.

The form looks for a database on a network drive and pulls the recipient
from there. There is no problem with any of the code when the user creates
and sends the form. When the recipient opens the form, it is supposed to
check to see if the form is sent

if oitem.sent = true then...

However, the code in the Open Event is NOT running when the recipient gets
the form and opens it. I have combined the Compose & Read pages and
manipulate the functionality of the form by using the above statement.

What about the state of the Send Form Definition with Item box on the (Properties) page? It should not be checked.
