Outlook 2003 bug!

[Arcadium]

I designed simple from in Outlook 2003 based on standard Message form and
inserted standard Calendar Control 11.0 into it.

Then I published it to the "Personal Folder Library" (Save Form definition
with Item is checked).

I opened new item based on the new form (File->New->Choose Form...).

I entered some text in the new item and save it without sending.



And now the problem:

I tried to open saved item from the "Drafts" folder and got message box: "To
help prevent malicious code from running one or more objects in this form
were not loaded..."



After that my form opened without calendar control!



Were did Outlook find a malicious code? I did not write any script and I
inserted _standard_ Outlook control! Why I can't open my form!?



BTW I changed the security settings to "Low" and get the same result.



Is it a bug from Microsoft? What should I do to kill this warning?



Thanks In Advance,

Arcadium.

OK. The whole story:

inserted standard Calendar Control 11.0 into it.

Microsoft. It's not my calendar control. It is standard control from

Could anyone step by step reproduce this bug and get needless warning
message?

BTW I have outlook 2003 client and outlook exchange server 5.5.

It's not well documented but there is a new AllowActiveXOneOffForms registry
value that determines what ActiveX controls Outlook forms can use. I found
some information at the bottom of
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/seven/ch26/SecD01.htm and will try
to locate more.

Unfortunately, the article also suggests that a published form should ignore
that value and trust all ActiveX controls, so there must be more to it. Or,
perhaps, something in your form is causing it to one-off?
