Hi,

I have customized the outlook form Form-Design Forms-Calender-P.2 and
renamed it to "FindConf". I have made this form to default so that whenever I
try to send meeting reques this forms appear along with Appointment and
Scheduling tab.
My customized form is working fine as expected but I have following problem
after integrated it with Outlook(by making it default).

Here problem is when I send the metting request to user then that user could
not see the content of the meeting and he see following message:

"The item contains active content that cannot be displayed in the Reading
Pane. Open the item to read its contents"

Then user has to double click on mail to view this content.

Other problem is when user clicks double click on the mail it also display
FindCongf my customized form along with Appointment. I dont want it to
display it when user receives the meeting request like Scheduling tab will
not be displayed.

Could any one please help me out in this two problems.

Thanks,
Paresh

The first issue is normal and expected behavior with custom forms.

I'm confused about the second issue. Are you saying that you want the custom
form to be visible only to you, not to recipients? (If so, why use a custom
form in the first place?)

It is expected behaviour means we can not solve it??

Yes I want recipient should not able to see because the cusomized form is
just to meant for meeting sender and not for receiver. just like Scheduling
tab will not be disaplayed when receiver received the meeting request. but
while sending sender can see it and add the attendees.

Thanks,

Correct.

As for your other issue, one solution might be to design the form with the
page hidden and then use code in the Item_Open event handler to display it
(Inspector.ShowFormPage) only on new items (Item.Size = 0).

Unless and untill user clicks on the find conf room button how would I know
whether Item.Size if 0 or not. Could you tell me why Scheduling tab is not
getting displayed when user received the meeting request from some other user?

Correct.
I think if we cannot solve this then there is no point to make my customized
form as a default one. Could you tell me how can I use just P.2(which is the
tab I have customized and renamed to FindConf) easily. I don't want
Appointment and Scheduling tabs along with my customized form. User should
just need to click some where to open my customized form FindConf and find
conf room and close it.

Thanks,
Paresh
