Hi folks,

I developed a form for Outlook with Outlook 2000 and
Windows 2000. When I started the form.oft file everything
worked, i.e. the function Item_Open. But now I'm trying to
open that form with Outlook 2002 and WindowsXP and the
functions won't be called. I have to go to developer mode
of the form and then start the form to see my form work.
What do I have to do, that my form will start immediately
when I do a double-click on the file form.oft?

Would be nice, if you can help me.

You will need to publish the form. Outlook 2002 does not run code in unpublished forms. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/launchform.htm for easy ways to launch published forms without going through the Choose Form dialog.

Well, thanks but this cause another problem. How do I
publish a form automated i.e. during a setup? And to my
other post: You mean, that this macro warning won't appear
if I publish the form?

Thanks for your help.

You can write a small .exe to publish a form using the FormDescription.PublishForm method and have your installer run that .exe. To avoid the macro warning prompt, distribute the form already published to a folder in a .pst file.

Hi,

now I have a small Visual Basic program. It contains the
following code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Set myOlApp = GetObject("", "Outlook.Application")
Set myItem = _
myOlApp.createitemfromtemplate("C:\MyForm.oft")
Set myForm = myItem.formdescription
myForm.Name = "MyForm"
myForm.PublishForm olPersonalRegistry
Unload Me
End Sub

This publishes my form in Outlook under the specified
name. Now I only have to create a shortcut with the
command line "C:\...\outlook.exe" /c "IPM.NOTE.MyForm" and
then I can start my form with a double-click on the
shortcut. Right?

That shortcut should work fine. Your code should set the MessageClass property as well as the display Name. MessageClass would be IPM.Note.MyForm.

If Outlook works in Outlook Safe Mode then the issue is most likely caused by an add-in. Often, but not always, this is accompanied by an error similar to:
“The add-in <reference to add-in> could not be installed or loaded. This problem may be resolved by using Detect and Repair on the Help menu. Unable to load <reference to add-in dll>.“

You can enable/disable Outlook add-ins in the following locations;

Tools-> Options-> tab Other-> button Advanced E-mail Options…-> button Add-In Manager…/COM Add-ins…
