"Form load failed" in design a form

[Mark]

I have office 2003.

When I go to: tools >> design a form…

I get an error message stating “Form load failedâ€
Also, there are no forms in the standard forms library.
When I double click on the contacts window and customize the contact form, I
get the following error message when I attempt to publish the form: “Unable
to successfully publish the form due to a MAPI error. The object could not be
found.â€
when I first installed the program I did not have any of these problems.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling office and the problem still
persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you received any help or figured this out yet? I'm having the same problem and several other related problems.

Since you didn't refer to any earlier message or describe your problem, no one knows what problems you're having or even in what version of Outlook.

Thanks for finding that, Hollis!

Standard procedure would be to clear the forms cache and run Help | Detect and Repair.

Well, certainly not no one. VA slots him in a thread after this
message:

The problem has never happened to me so I can't offer a solution.

And I have never been able to map the new 16-bit (?) Characters to
anything I can interpret, though I would guess they are open and close
quotes.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the error messages ceased
and I have the forms in the standard library again. Thanks again for your
reply, if it happens again I will follow your advice.
