Publishing a form

[JeffH]

Hi,

I published a home-made form to the organizational forms library on my
Exchange 5.5 server, when I try to open that form on another users PC, the
form gives me an error message, "Could not load an object because it is not
available on this machine."

Does anyone know how I can prevent this error message from showing up on
other machines?

Thanks in Advance,
Jeff

Sounds like your form uses a control that is not registered on all machines
in your organization. You'll need to either remove the control from the form
or register that control on the other machines.

Is there a way to see what controls are registered?

Thanks,
Jeff

Not easily. What controls does your form use?

The properties of the control call it a 'DTPicker'. I placed it in a custom
message form. Is there another control that I can use that will provide a
calendar item like this?

Thanks,
Jeff

Outlook itself comes with no such control. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/datepick.htm for controls you can add. The one
you're using, I suspect, is the one in the MSCOMCT2.OCX file. You may need
to use VB to create a setup file for this set of controls. Or use the one
from

Sue,

Sorry, I'm new to this stuff. I thought that if I look under properties of
the control that I would be able to see the control name. Can I ask how I
might be able to get that information?

Thanks,
Jeff

Open the VBA environment and look in Tools | References. Controls that are
added to the custom form control toolbox also seem to get added to the VBA
control toolbox, so it might show up there.
