Custom Form getting funky and not displaying Angyl 05.09.2006 18:34:01 I've created a custom form (no code) to serve as our client database in Outlook and published it to our public folders. Up until a week ago, it was working fine. Everyone had permissions to edit and add new contacts to this folder. Recently, however it has started acting strange. While I can when opening an EXISTING contact see the form, and have no problems with the form while creating NEW contacts, everyone else in the office no longer gets the form when they are opening EXISTING contacts. It is defaulting to the standard Exchange form. If they double-click to create a new contact in this folder it does (as the folder permissions state it should) use and display the new form. Any help for why all of a sudden this folder no longer displays only the EXISTING contacts using the custom form?

Re: Custom Form getting funky and not displaying Angyl 05.09.2006 23:31:02 Sue, Yeah, that's the first thing we tried, but that's not it. Before when it was a FRMCACHE.dat issue you would not be able to view the form AT ALL. Now, the form pops up if they go to create a new one, but not if they open an existing client. And these existing clients were CREATED using the custom form.

Re: Custom Form getting funky and not displaying Angyl 06.09.2006 15:15:02 Uh...no?? Not sure how to do that.

RE: Custom Form getting funky and not displaying Angyl 06.09.2006 17:38:02 NM! I solved the problem with Omsgclas.exe recommended from the Microsoft KB. Thanks for your help!
