You need to publish the form to have it work, an OFT file won't run in later
versions of Outlook. You can publish it in the Organizational Forms Library if you use Exchange and the form is being used internally to your organization, and if you have permissions to publish there. Otherwise you can publish the form to each user's Personal Forms Library or have them do so, or if the form is to be used only in one shared folder you can publish the form to the folder. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

an OFT file won't run in later versions of Outlook.
It will not work on Outlook 2003? I want to send the form that I have designed at tool-forms-designforms-calender-confroom to my friend so that he can open it and can run. He is also using outlook 2003. Please note that I have added "Find Conf Room" tab along with Appointments and Scheduling tabs. So what should I do now?

It will not work on any recent version of Outlook 2003 unless it's
published. 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. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Never, ever, publish in 2 or more places. That's an open invitation to
having your form become one-offed or to cause forms cache corruption. Again, look at the forms information at www.outlookcode.com, as I've mentioned before. Most of the questions you're asking are already answered there. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Use the manage forms dialog. Right-click on any folder in the Folder List
and select Properties. Go to the Forms tab and click the Manage button. Select the library you want (a folder, Personal Forms, etc.) and delete it from there. Make sure to clear the forms cache at the same time. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Ken, I got the ans from http://outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=67. Thanks for
pointing me this link. By default, items created with custom forms do not run code when the user opens them from a shared mailbox. You can change the setting by choosing Tools | Options | Other | Advanced Options and checking the box for Allow script in shared folders. You'll see that there is also an option for Allow script in public folders. In Outlook 2007, these settings are in the Tools | Trust Center dialog, under E-mail Security.
