Several form roadblocks

Having a bad week with Outlook forms.

I was going to install my form in a Public Folder, but I discovered that a
Search will not look in subfolders of a Public folder. As an alternative, I
ask for and get a new Exchange mailbox where I install the form, but the
VBScript code refuses to run. I have not one-offed the form (not sending
form definition, never ever do). The Outlook security level is set to Low.
The same form installed on my own Inbox does run the code.

I try to install the form on the Organizational Forms Library, but get an
error "An error occurred while going to this foder". I get an I.S. person
to follow the steps for "How to Create an Organizational Forms Library in
Exchange" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q244591/
and he gets an error code 80070005.

My last-ditch resort will be to install the form on individual's machines,
but I really don't want tthat headache, as I know we'll be tweaking this
form regularly.

The other problem I'm having is generating an email when an item of my form
type is created or updated. I'm using code from Sue's book but for some
reason the body of the resulting email remains blank. I've tried both HTML
and plain text, and I'm not using Word as email editor. My form is based on
a Post.

Running Outlook 2003, Win XP

Thanks for any ideas.

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.
