Vbscript code does not execute from other mailbox

[Bert Köhler]

Hello NG,
I have a small solution for our room booking service in our company. For
many reasons, we don't want the employees to book rooms on their own.
The employee opens a new request from the organisational forms library,
fills in the necessary data and sends the item to a special mailbox where
few people have (full) access to.

Everything works fine except one weird issue:
When opening a request residing in the room booking mailbox (additional
mailbox besides the original/primary one), the code behind a special print
button will not execute at all.
When I copy this item to my mailbox or put it in another mail by forwarding
the item, I can open the item in question and the code will execute when I
press the button.
I have full access to the inbox, so access problems should not prevent the
code from being executed.

Environment: Windows XP SP2, Outlook 2003 SP1 (CDO installed), Exchange
Server 2003

Where can I start to solve this weird problem? Is this a very special case
of one-off-form(s)?


Any help appreciated

Bert.

Ok, I found the solution. Should have done more/deeper searching:

Sue did answer this question already in November 2004:
###########################################
Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2002 SP3 include a new setting -- turned off by
default -- to allow forms in shared mailboxes to run script. You can change
the setting by choosing Tools | Options | Other | Advanced Options and
checking the box for "Allow script in shared folders." See
http://www.slipstick.com/dev/ol2003problems.htm#mailboxscript for more
information on this setting and the comparable setting (on by default) for
forms in public folders.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
