OK so I have spent 3 hours trying to figure this out and I am just
about to give up. The problem is on a Brand New Dell machine with Win
XP Pro and Office 2003.

I created 4 simple custom outlook forms that I published in the
"Organizational Folder" so that the staff in my organzation can access
them. I found an example at
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/formonweb.htm on how to make those
forms accessible via the intranet.

The forms have been online for a couple of "Years" now and work fine
on all out machines EXCEPT this new Dell machine we just bought last
week. So frustrating .. I went through the code and it seems that the
line giving the problem is "outlookApp = new
ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application");" It raised an error
"-2147024770"

So automatically I thought it could be a security issue. Listed below
is what I checked.

- All the browser security settings for the intranet and set them a
low as possible.
- Made sure Outlook Express is installed.
- Updated MDAC

Not sure what else to try. Any help would be appreciated. Like I
said its only one brand new dell machine that is giving us a problem.

TIA

Is the site showing up in the browser (IE?) as running in the intranet zone?
 
Hi Sue,

Thanks for the reply. Yes the site is running under the "Local
Intranet" zone.

If there is another way to run the form via the intranet I am open to
sugesstions.

Thanks

Hi,

Thought I'd send this out one more time for any ideas out there ....

If the site is already in the problem machine's Local Intranet Zone, you
might want to post the code. It could provide a clue. Also check to see what
the ActiveX settings are for that zone.
