Office 2007 B2TR

[Jack]

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but here it goes.

I have an Outlook Add-in that runs fine in Outlook 2000 thru Outlook 2007
Beta 2. The other day I installed O2007 Tech Refresh on my Beta 2
installation and now things no longer work.

Key things that are now failing include:
1) It opens an Outlook 2000 version pst file to copy some folders, now
with B2TR the pst file can no longer be opened. I even ran a scanpst on the
pst file, which it reports errors and I instruct it to repair but still
fails to open. However the pst file opens without problems in OL2000-2007
B2.
2) Third party controls that worked correctly on the form in B2 now
fail. Specifically I use a Date/Time control from BCGSoft and when I open
the form with the control on it, it reports that the control is not properly
licenses. Again it works fine in OL2000-2007B2.

Are others finding these same types of problems? Comments from MS on the
status of such issues with B2TR?

Outlook form or user form?

What language is the addin written in?

How many computers show this problem?

I haven't had any problems opening ANSI PST files using B2TR code, and the
licensed ActiveX controls I use in some addins work in B2TR also.

The Add-in is written in VB6 but I see the problem even if I try to open the
form in design mode without the script firing (holding shift key).

All computers running B2TR.

So this is an Outlook form?

Is the form published?

Do you see this problem on more than one computer or only one?

Have you tried using a different ActiveX control and see if that works?

Are you sure the licensing for that ActiveX control is properly set up for
use on that computer?

Is the form published?
--> Yes it is published to the Personal Forms Library

Do you see this problem on more than one computer or only one?
--> All the computers that are running B2TR. It does not happen on B2, jsut
when you apply the TR.

Have you tried using a different ActiveX control and see if that works?
--> I have replaced the control with another control and get around the
license message, however I still have the issue with it opening the pst to
copy a folder. However, I would rather not have to remove all the
references to this control and use the other control if I do not have to.

Are you sure the licensing for that ActiveX control is properly set up for
use on that computer?The form is published. On all the computers running
B2TR.
--> Yes, it ran fine before applying the tech refresh. Also this
form/control is running hundreds of other OL2000-2003 as well as a handful
of OL2007 B2 installation.

I'm not sure what the problem is, I haven't seen either problem here with my
code or test code. I'd first post to the
microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms group to see if anyone there has seen
a problem like that and second wait for RTM to be released to see if the
problem is still there in that version.

For opening a PST I tested using AddStore and it was able to mount an ANSI
PST file with no problems. I then read folders and items in folders from
that store.

It is fixed in the production release of Office 2003, must have been a TR
bug.
