Form code doesn't run

I wanted to house my form/application in a public folder with sub-folders,
but I also wanted to allow the user to do his own searches for items using
Outlook. However, searches will not look in sub-folders of public folders.
(I've heard there's a 3rd party tool that will do that, but I don't want to
go that route)

I had I.S. make me Owner of a new Exchange mailbox and I installed my form
to its Inbox, but the underlying code does not want to run. I verified the
Macros Security setting is Low. I did not (and never do) send Form
definition with Item. I have a similar Outlook form (published using
different name) installed on my own Inbox and the code runs fine.

I'm using Outlook 2003 SP1 on Windows XP.

Thanks for any ideas.

Bill
 
Outlook 2003 includes a new setting -- turned off by default -- to allow
forms in shared mailboxes to run script. You can change the setting by
choosing Tools | Options | Other | Advanced Options and checking the box for
"Allow script in shared folders." See
http://www.slipstick.com/dev/ol2003problems.htm#mailboxscript for more
information on this setting and the comparable setting (on by default) for
forms in public folders.
