MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / December 2003Assigned proj# to inbound messages
I have Published a form in Outlook 2002 for new outgoing messages that has a text field for entering a Project Number (central to our filing system), but would also like to have the same textbox for incoming messages. How do I apply a Form to an existing directory of old messages (ie. inbox) and all new inbound messages? Thanks > How do I apply a Form to an existing directory of old > messages (ie. inbox) and all new inbound messages? Go to www.slipstick.com and search on "default", without the quotes, and one of the articles in the results set will tell all. Hollis D.

I followed the article but the area I need to modify in the folder 'properties' dialog box is ghosted/disabled. I have tackeled changing permissions on MS Exchange, but this areas is still off- limits?

Which area is this? Hollis D.

My form has been sucessfully added to this list. Beneath the list box is a text box labelled 'Description', presumably for any details associated with the form. At the bottom are three radio buttons bound by the title 'Allow these forms in this folder'. I need to select the first option 'Only forms listed above', but all three radio buttons are ghosted. This is the case for both personal and publix folders. Any suggestions? Thanks and regards, Peter Willis >-----Original Message----- >> but the [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >. > At the bottom are three radio buttons bound by the > title 'Allow these forms in this folder'.

I also followed some Knowledge Base articles that seem to help. Firstly Q1 in 287530, which lead me to 290659. I downloaded the utility 'DocMessageClass' from slipstick which allows me to update the message class of a folder. I had limited sucess with this as the message class of my customised form did not appear in the 'Change Messageclass To:' listbox. I went the Omsgclas.doc file and did okay with that, however then the icons of the messages in the folders appeared as Notes.

Sounds like you had not published the form to that folder, or had not used the Forms Manager to move it to that folder. > however then the icons of the messages in the folders > appeared as Notes. I have never paid attention to this problem in the past but I will ask the ones who have to find out if there is a solution. Hollis D.

Sue Mosher replied: "Sounds like Peter never set an icon on the (Properties) page of the form, in design mode." Diane Poremski replied: "Even if he did, it doesnt always affect the icon. There is a mapi property that prevents the icon from changing its only present on some records and I dont know if there is a rhyme or reason behind why its present. Sig and I tinkered with it last summer when some contact forms had the old icon instead of the new contacts one." So, it appears that this may be an intractable problem. But, check to see if you have the proper icon defined in the custom form, change them back to the standard form, and then try the conversion again. Hollis D.
