Rich Text Control not working

[Jesslyn Hendrix]

Is there something that I have to to to make a Rich Text control work on a
form in Outlook 2003, when it works just fine in Outlook XP?

By default, ActiveX controls won't work on unpublished or oneoff forms. See

THank you VERY much! If Microsoft is going to do that, they need to give
form developers an alternate mode of testing their forms before publishing.
How irritating!

Why? Since code hasn't run on unpublished forms since Outlook 2000 SP2,
there's rarely any reason to test anything but published forms. You can
always test a form by publishing a message form to your own Personal Forms
library or any other type of form to a test folder.

I have published the form to my Personal and the Organizational libraries
and I am still getting a message "The subject is not trusted for the
specific action"

Is that the exact error message? What build number and language version of
Outlook are you using? Are you launching your item from the published form
and not an .oft file?

I don't know where that message might be coming from. The ActiveX security
message would be "'To help malicious code from ruinning, one or more objects
inthis form were not loaded."

Found it. The Rich Text Control is not supported on Outlook 2003 custom
forms or VBA user forms at all, along with several others on IE's blacklist.
We'll try to get a list from Microsoft.
