Default Custom form could not be opened

Ken,

Thanks for your support. Most of things are available at outlookcode.com. I
think below is the my last question :-). I did not find any info about it.

I have save the form as .oft file and follow the procedure given in
outlookcode.com to publish the form and it is working fine but when he opens
new meeting request my customized form that i have designed in P.2 is
not coming but for me it is coming. He has to choose the form from
Personalized form library or calender where the form has been published.

Is it possible to do it so that when he clicked on new meeting request that
FindConf customized form should also be there with Appointment and Scheduling?

Thanks,
Paresh

Save the file as an OFT file after publishing it on your computer, send the
OFT as an attachment to your friend and have him also publish it. See the
Forms information on publishing at www.outlookcode.com for specific
information on publishing forms.

You would have to have him make that custom form the default for that item
type, which takes a registry change. It's discussed at outlookcode.com,
search on "default form".

Why are you saving a published form as an OFT file?

Your mention of Item.Recipient was the first mention of this and I'm not
sure what you're doing or why. The steps you just listed don't mention
adding any recipients or what exactly you're trying to accomplish.

Default Custom form could not be opened

Let me be a more clear.

After making cutomized form default one, when I open meeting request, it
will display my customized FindConf form between the appointment and
scheduling form.

Now on this form when I click the FindConfRoom button it will display all
the available conf rooms in list box. Then I will select any conf room and
click the button SelectConfRoom so that it will add selected conf room in
Item.Recipient list.

Now problem here is while adding the conf rooms like this if I dont
open/touch Scheduling tab then it is displaying free/busy status for all the
added conf rooms. Now suppose if I have added 2 conf room without opening
Scheduling tab, See the scheduling tab, both the added conf rooms free/busy
status are available(busy status in blue color), now again go to FinConf tab,
select other conf room and add it to Item.recipient, now if I see scheduling
tab then for lastly added confroom free/busy status will not be displayed and
it just display strips. (like. ///////////////////////////)

Hope you understood. Here I cant attach the file otherwise i could have
attached that snapshot for you.

Thanks,
Paresh


Why are you saving a published form as an OFT file?

I usually work on an OFT file and publish versions of it as I go along for
testing. If you have renamed P.2 then the OFT will have that as will the
published form.

As far as updating things you really should be saving the item after you add
something to Item.Recipients so the changes are persisted and can be read by
the rest of the form. That's what I meant by saving it after adding the
recipient. That is a run time operation that should occur after adding the
selected resource to Recipients.

why are you saving a published form as an OFT file?
I have also try to save the form directly from where I am modifying but it
gives same behaviour. Please let me know how should I save form as .oft then.

I did the following to add item into item.Recipient.

When I create new meeting request, on form three tab will be appear
Appointment, my customized form FindConfRoom and Scheduling. Now I will use
FindConfRoom to get the all available confrooms in the listbox. User will
select the confroom and clicks on InsertIntoAtendees to add selected conf
room into Item.Recipient list. Here problem is if I open Scheduling tab and
then add the conf rooms then for those conf rooms free/busy status will not
be displayed and instead it will display stripts like ////////.

For an example I have added 2 conf room X and Y without opening scheduling
tab. Now If I see then free/busy status will be displayed for both the conf
rooms X and Y. Now I again come to FindConfRoom tab and select another conf
room Z. Now if I see in Scheduling tab then for X and Y conf rooms(was
selected without opening scheduling tab) will have free/busy status(busy
status in blue color) displayed correctly. but for conf room Z the free/busty
status will not be displayed and instead it will display strips like
/////////.

Hoe you got the problem now. Here I can not attach the snapshot else I could
have attache snapshot for you.

Thanks,
Paresh

browser but i could not get it.

Thanks,
Paresh
