Organizational Forms

[Kevin Porter]

I have asked here before about publishing to the Organizational forms
library. I have followed all the instructions on giving myself the ability
to publish there. I have worked with the other system admin to make sure I
had all rights and privileges and ownerships. My security and his are exact
as far as we can tell.

Except, when I try to publish to the Org Forms I get, 'A MAPI error occured.
you do not have perms to publish to that folder.' (basically). When he
publishes it goes there.

But when I look in the E-Forms registry for the forms he created they are
not there, but are available for me to choose from outlook.

So all that for this.......

Where are the folders the forms are actually published too? Or what kind of
search would I have to use to find them. My thought being, if I can find his
published forms, then we can look at it's permissions and adjust accordingly.

Thanks in advance for all info.

Are you looking in the E-Forms registry with Outlook Spy or MFCMAPI.exe? You'd need a tool like that to see what's published there. You won't see them in Exchange System Manager. The folder is a hidden folder; that's why you use ESM to manage its permissions. Maybe someone on the microsoft.public.exchange.admin group would have a clue about what's going wrong with the permissions.

Also, for best results, use a profile that connects directly to the server, not one that uses Cached Exchange mode.

Thank you Sue. I did not realize I could not view them through ESM. I'll
start there and carry over to the Exchange folks.

Have a great day.

MFCMapi.exe is a good tool. Thanks for the tip. With it I was able to see
exactly
where forms where going. Then on that folder I changed "Client Permissions"
to owner for me.

Thanks again Sue for a boot in the right direction. Now I just have to
write a form worth publishing.
