MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / January 2004Forms Event not Firing
In Outlook I am using the following code in a resource calendar to automatically fill in the location field: Function Item_Open() Item.location = Application.ActiveExplorer.Caption End Function The caption is the name of the calendar and therefor the location. This calendar writes its events to a Master calendar so the location must be identified. However this code is not working in certain circumstances in Outlook 2003; it works fine in Outlook 2002. The code works OK if the form is chosen and opened up while in the calendar. However if the form is the default chosen form and a new item is opened, the event Item_Open does not fire so the location is not filled. I don't believe that any of the forms events are firing for this circumstance but I don't know for sure. Has anyone else seen this problem with Outlook 2003? Thanks for any help you can offer. What kind of folder are you trying to create the appointment in -- personal calendar, public folder, calendar in other user's mailbox? Can you also explain what you mean by "if the form is the default chosen form and a new item is opened"?

Thanks for your reply. We have a set of mailboxes on our Exchange server for scheduling resources (rooms on our campus). These calendars have the new form set as the default form for opening new appointments. The code that is associated with the form is not firing with Outlook 2003 if the calendar is first opened from another mailbox (not the resource calendar mailbox) and the "new" button is selected. However the code does work OK if the resource calendar mailbox is opened native and the new button is selected. So the problem happens when the new item is being created in "another user's calendar". I hope this is clear.

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.

I found the option! Thanks so much for your help with this. We can now migrate to Office 2003 with no(some) reservations!

If so, I'd wait to upgrade until Microsoft fixes the major forms cache problem related to accessing public folders through the Public Folders\Favorites hiearchy.
