I have a system with a Custom Outlook form, Windows XP SP-1 and Office 2002.
I can open the form within Outlook and the macros I have created work fine.
When I save a copy of the form (Service.oft) to my hard drive, the macro are
disabled. I have check the security level in Outlook (low).
I don't get the macro security warning (disable or enable)
What can I do to restore the functionality of the marcros?
Thanks

So what your saying is then whenever I place a copy of the form outside of
Outlook, I can never overcome the problem of the form being one-offed?(in
these later versions of Office) The reason I ask this is because when our
people save copies of these forms that are now filled in with information,
they like to save them on their harddrive as an archive copy. (The macro
allow them to print info on the custom form!) Although the original form in
an unfilled state is publish into their personal folder in Outlook, and this
seems to be a prevailing habit, we are killing the VB script. The forms
are saved with the Send form definition with item uncheck, by the way.
Am I missing anything else?
Thanks!

Why aren't they saving as .msg files? .oft is useful just for making backups
of form designs.

When you save an item as a .msg file, it retains its connection to the
published MessageClass assuming, of course, that the form is published in
the Personal Forms or Organizational Forms library so that Outlook can find
the form definition. Therefore, the item behaves just as if it were saved in
an Outlook folder.
