OWA and .Oft files support

[Sylvain]

Hello,

i'am the exchange administrator in my society, and we use oft forms for
sending our on client site engineer informations for their missions.

When engineer are in local office, there is no problem to open these
forms, but when connecting from outside using OWA (through Nokia NSAS
SSL solution), these forms are unavailable.

I saw that using POP3 it's the same... are these forms only available
using MAPI ?

I searched some Exchange forums, newsletters, and microsoft KB but did
not found any solution or roadmap feature. Does anyone have more
informations or a solution to my problem?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Cheers,

Sylvain

ps: sorry if my english is not very good. if you prefer you can answer
me in french.

Outlook forms are only available from the desktop version of Outlook, including a POP3 environment, but not with OWA. You would, of course, have to make the .oft files available in a location where all users who need them can access them.

Thanks a lot for this answer. Will tell people to find another solution
or copy oft files to a shared place.
