We're using Outlook 2003 (SP2) in a NON-Exchange environment, and I'm
trying to work through the logic updating custom forms.
1. Open the form (IPM.Contact.fcms-0.7.9), make changes, and bump up
the version number in the form properties.
2. I save this as an .oft, and use one of Sue Mosher's scripts so users
can publish it to a folder in Outlook.
3. New items created use the updated version of the form, but existing
items do not.
Am I missing a step here to allow existing items to use the updated
form? Should this be happening on it's own?
I've seen the Microsoft tool and other products on the Slipstick page
to update existing items, but at this point I'm trying to distinguish
Outlook's expected behavior from bugs in the process. I've seen
reference to clearing the forms cache in case of problems, and renaming
the form's Display Name.
Thanks,
Shawn Barrick.
