Macintosh/Windows and forms...

[Outlook 2001 for Macintosh]

I am using fields and controls on customs forms (appoinment) designed in MS-Outlook 2000 SR-1 (9.0.0.3821) for Windows 2000. The form will be sent from Pc stations (Win2000 and Outlook 2000) to Macintosh stations (MacOS 9.x with Outlook 2001) to update calender on the Mac client.

The Mac client can't receive the form, only display propietary fields of Outlook (ej. location, subject, address, start and finish date, etc.) but I can't see form desigined and personal fields. What can I do ?

Other question, Can I do forms from Outlook 2001 for Macintosh ?

Thanks.

When you're in design mode on your form. In the
properties tab, click send form definition with item
checkbox. This will allow users to see your custom form,
the way you built it. But they won't be able to use it.
The form would have to be published on the end user
computer, or in the public folders if you're in exchange.

Sorry, but the macintosh can't see form designed againg after click send
form definition (enviar la definición del formulario con el elemento).

The form was published on exchange 2000 server as OFT file (public folder),
file format not be open to macintosh computer. The outlook application said
that "what would you like to do with this file" and possible answers are
"Open it" or "Save it to disk"

Do you have other idea? What can I do?

Thanks...

The only thing you can do is rethink the application to make it an Exchange web forms app or move it totally to a regular web server.
