Very good. Still progress I presume.
Now when I try to open a custom form I get
"The form you selected cannot be displayed. An error occurred while
installing the form."
What's my next step?

In Windows Explorer, try going to the FORMS folder -- C:\Users\your user

also any subfolders you see there. Also make sure that you have full owner
permission on that folder, because Outlook needs to write new items whenever
you load a form into the cache.

Also, please quote enough of the previous message(s) in the discussion
thread so that we can see what the issue is. Not everyone reads newsgroups
on the web site. At this point, I have no idea what the original issue is.

I hope this is from the beginning
------------------
Vista Home Premium 32 / Outlook 2007

I have created some forms that used to work. No more.
On selecting a Contact form, I get "The form required to view this
message cannot be displayed. Contact the administrator." No other forms
appear to work EXCEPT those in the standard library. To my knowledge, I
am the administrator. This is a stand-alone PC in my residence. If I
go to Manage User Accounts, it shows only 2 accounts - LastName
Administrator and Guest.
My custom forms are in either Personal Library or Outlook Folders. All
of these forms give the error.
I have my OFT files in a custom folder. All open without error but if I
publish them, I get the error.
Nothing I know has changed to cause the error.
FWIW, I can open all forms in 'Design Form' and edit and publish.

I have googled my problem and found references to FRMCACHE.DAT which I
am told to delete and restart Outlook. Did that. Opened Outlook and
tried to open a form. Same error. And FRMCACHE.DAT was not rebuilt.
Doing 'Find' shows no such file.

Did you check the permissions on the Forms folder?

Ah, lingo again.
Under Contacts|Properties|Forms, I see no 'Permissions.' Wrong place?

Managing permissions for folders on your hard drive is not an Outlook
feature. Use Windows Explorer for that.
