Default Macros have been disabled error Message with Custom forms

Hello,

I've created a custom outlook form using VB Script and in Outlook 2003 the
users gets the message 'Macros have been disabled. Macros might contain
viruses or other security hazards. Do not enable this content unless you
trust the source of this file'. In Outlook 2007 the users do not get this
message. The VB Script does not call into any macros so I cannot understand
why this is happening.

Sounds like you might have a very old version of Outlook 2003, without
service packs, that gives a confusing message. Make sure the form is
published with the "send form definition with item" box on the (Properties)
page in design mode unchecked.

Look again.

Step 1: Open the form in design mode.

Step 2: Switch to the (Properties) page, which is the next to last page on
the right.

Step 3: Look for the "Send form definition with item" check box on the right
side of the page, under the Change Small Icon button.

Does the form use any ActiveX controls that are not present in Outlook 2003?
Have you tried publishing the form with Outlook 2003 instead of Outlook
2007? Is the Outlook 2003 using Word as the email editor? Are there macros
in the Normal.dot file?

Default Macros have been disabled error Message with Custom forms

Hello Sue,

The form does called the CreateObject to create a C# ActiveX object. This is
the only ActiveX object that is used.

In Outlook 2007 users have not reported this macro error message.

In Outlook 2003 users are saying they are not seeing the macro error message
all the time. It sometime appears when the meeting arrives in their inbox
they get the error message sometimes. They have the preview feature enabled.
But they are saying they do not get this error all the time which means its
hard for me to reproduce. The strange thing is that the message was on their
screen and when I asked them to create the same meeting then the error did
not appear.

Their normal.dot does not include any macros.

Thanks,
