Favorites Folder

[philippe]

Hi,

I've a contacts public folder with a custom form published in the folder.
When a user access through his favorites, the custom form won't be used.
Should I publish the form an other way than in the folder (like
organizational forms) ? Will that be a solution ?

I'm really suprised it looks like if the favorite folder were just an other
replication than won't get the form... is it true ? In that case can we
change the metaclass for a favorites folder ?Or is there a way to pre-install
the directory on every user accounts (they're all hosted in an exchange
server) so that the favorites will know which form to use ?

Thanks for your comments and suggestions,
Regards,
Philippe

The form should be available from the Favorites replica. Is it now showing on the folder's Actions menu? Is it visible in Tools | Forms | Choose Forms? What version of Outlook? If Outlook 2003, is the user connecting directly or through Cached Exchange mode?

It is Outlook 2003

MyForm shows every place you mention :
* When i look at the properties of the Favorites replica, it says to use
MyForm when publishing into this folder.
* When the focus is in the Replica Folder...
- MyForm does show on the folder's Actions menu
- If I do Tools | Forms | Choose Forms MyForm shows if I choose "Outlook
Folders" instead of "Organizational Library Forms".

Yes the user is connecting through
Cached Exchange mode

Thank you,
Philippe

Hi

After reading about Cached Exchange Mode, custom forms and SP-1,
I'm terrified to discover that it seems that my company is not updating
Office with service packs... which may explain the "bug".
