Vista Home Premium 32 / Outlook 2007

I have created some forms that used to work. No more.
On selecting a form, I get "The form required to view this message
cannot be displayed. Contact the administrator. To my knowledge, I am
the administrator. This is a stand-alone PC in my residence. If I go
to Manage User Accounts, it shows only 2 accounts - LastName
Administrator and Guest.
I have googled my problem and found references to FRMCACHE.DAT which I
am told to delete and restart Outlook. Did that. Opened Outlook and
tried to open a form. Same error. And FRMCACHE.DAT was not rebuilt.
Doing 'Find' shows no such file.
FWIW, I can open the file in 'Design Form' and edit and publish.
How do I get rid of the error?
BONUS QUESTION: Is there a way to point Outlook to a NEW default folder
that contains all my forms?
 
What types of forms -- contact, message, etc.? Where are they published? Do
you have backup copies in the form of .oft files? What has changed on the
machine between the time when they used to work and now? Does the problem
occur with all forms or just some?

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the
hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...spx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms
