Publishing Outlook Form to Public Folder

We are using Office 2002 SP3 and Exchange server. I have a form (based on
the message form) that I want to make available to our network users under
the Actions menu of a folder in our Exchange Public folders. Should I
publish the form first to our Organizational Library, and then to the Public
folder? Or does it simply need to be published in the Public folder? Some
of our users have been having cache issues with this form (the form is not
able to be displayed), and I want to try to correct this. Thanks very much.
 
A message form should always be published to Organizational Forms. Think
about it: When you get a message based on that form in your Inbox, how is
Outlook going to know to go look in a public folder to find the form
definition?

Then, instead of the message form, you can use the form launcher form in the
public folder -- see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formlauncher.htm
 
Thanks very much Sue. Do you know if cache problems could be caused if the
form is published both to the Organization Forms library and to a Public
folder?
 
Potentially, yes, though much less likely in that version than earlier one.
But you don't need to publish a message form in both places, just in
Organizational Forms.
