How to use a custom form as a default folder form ?
Hi ,
I created a custom form and I published it in the calendar folder. From the Calendar properties dialog I selected the general tab and then choose this custom form as the default form of this folder. It works good but sometimes when I open an appointment item I get the original default form instead of my new custom form so I have to open again the calendar properties dialog and choose my form again as the deafult form for this calendar. How can I fix it ? (I use office 2003) Thanks, David

I've heard that the form depends on message class and even on some mythic registry settings... So, any help to me and David is GREATLY appreciated!

How to use a custom form as a default folder form ?
There are no registry settings related to a form being the default for a folder. There is a registry setting for making a custom form the default form globally, not just in a folder. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefa...#changedefault . Note that it doesn't work completely for message forms in Outlook 2003.
David's case may simply be forms cache corruption. Clearing the cache is the first troubleshooting step. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Konstantin" wrote in message oups.com...

How to use a custom form as a default folder form ?
Thnx for the fast reply, Sue & Ken!
I've visited this pages before i posted my question... And the problem is i'm using OL2003, and this method (i mean use folder settings from right-click menu and setting up restrictions) isn't good for me. And even more- how to make custom popup form appear when i'm dragging files to a specific folder in OL2003? For ex , when dragging files to Inbox folder OL form appears... Thnx in advance!

That's expected, normal behavior that can't be changed. Dragging a file to the Inbox always creates a new message, by design.

Please explain your application in more detail. Well, all i need is to create popup form - it will be fired when drag'n'drop file from Windows Explorer to my specific folder. Changing this option "when posting to..." to have my form value will give no result. As for Inbox - i took this for example, let it be "Test" folder. Imagine: we are dropping file from WinExpl. to our "Test" in Outlook and momentally have custom popup form. Have no clue how to do it in an easy and pretty way

How to use a custom form as a default folder form ?
What you want to do can't be done with a custom form. It would require a COM add-in.

How to use a custom form as a default folder form ?
The key would be using the MAPIFolder.Items.ItemAdd event (well documented in Outlook Help and in many samples on the Internet) to detect the arrival of the item in the folder. Note, however, that the event would fire for all users running such an addin, not just for the user moving the item into the folder.
For more information on constructing COM add-ins, including samples, see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/comaddins.htm -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Konstantin" wrote in message ups.com...
