Problem with conflict messages

[Marcel]

Hi,

I am developing task management in Outlook, where I am using Outlook forms.
I have one form which is sended from users to one e-mail address where will
be processed like tasks (no standard Outlook tasks). There is about 10
operators which can process this task so I have implemented control based on
mail flag. This control have to check if is form opened by another user and
prevent it from duplicate processing. Problem is that Outlook is caching this
forms and when I open form by one user, Outlook will cache this state and he
will use this state everytime when I open it from this one user, so he is not
accept changes (about flag on mail) which I can make by another user. Outlook
accept changes only after restart. All this things are ending with Conflict
messages and so on.

So I need help with this problem:
- I think that this solution will work properly if I will be able to disable
this Outlook feature about remembering state of forms but I don't know how to
do it.
- If is there some another solution I can implement it with using form
visual basic script or so on but I need to know this solution.

If can anybody help me with it I will be happy


Thanks very much,

Marcel

Joel,

I am sorry, but I still have not quality solution, because still I have the
same problem, and this problem is caching. So I can not implement any more
logic, becase I have nothing value, which I can use.

But it is strange because it is working on small forms. I just mark it with
flag and next user know that it is marked and he was not caching.
