Outlook 2003 bug!

I designed simple from in Outlook 2003 based on standard Message form and
inserted standard Calendar Control 11.0 into it.

Then I published it to the "Personal Folder Library" (Save Form definition
with Item is checked).

I opened new item based on the new form (File->New->Choose Form...).

I entered some text in the new item and save it without sending.

And now the problem:

I tried to open saved item from the "Drafts" folder and got message box: "To
help prevent malicious code from running one or more objects in this form
were not loaded..."

After that my form opened without calendar control!

Were did Outlook find a malicious code? I did not write any script and I
inserted _standard_ Outlook control! Why I can't open my form!?

BTW I changed the security settings to "Low" and get the same result.

Is it a bug from Microsoft? What should I do to kill this warning?

Thanks In Advance,

Arcadium.

OK. The whole story:

I designed simple from in Outlook 2003 based on standard Message form and
inserted standard Calendar Control 11.0 into it.
Then I published it to the "Personal Folder Library" (Save Form definition
with Item is checked).

I opened new item based on the new form (File->New->Choose Form...).
I entered some text in the new item and save it without sending.

And now the problem:

I tried to open saved item from the "Drafts" folder and got message box: "To
help prevent malicious code from running one or more objects in this form
were not loaded..."

After that my form opened without calendar control!

Were did Outlook find a malicious code? I did not write any script and I
inserted _standard_ Outlook control! Why I can't open my form!?

BTW I changed the security settings to "Low" and get the same result.

message?

It's not well documented but there is a new AllowActiveXOneOffForms registry
value that determines what ActiveX controls Outlook forms can use. I found
some information at the bottom of
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/seven/ch26/SecD01.htm and will try
to locate more.

Unfortunately, the article also suggests that a published form should ignore
that value and trust all ActiveX controls, so there must be more to it. Or,
perhaps, something in your form is causing it to one-off?
