MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / July 2004New problem: Combo box on form cannot be changed
What would cause a combo box on a custom form to disallow changes? For one or two users of one particular custom Outlook form, a certain combo box comes up painted incorrectly and then does not allow changes. I can duplicate it, but I haven't figured out why, yet. Any ideas to get my thoughts moving in the right direction?? TIA! Bryan Hello!!! Anybody there??!! Awfully quiet today! > What would cause a combo box on a custom form to disallow changes?

Where is the form published? What version of Outlook? What kind of folder (public, personal, other user mailbox) contains the items?

I found a MS KB article that outlined my problems and the fixes that I should do and that problem is fixed. The custom form was using the ".Find" method of the UserProperties where MS had noted that this was a problem for OL 2002 SP3. We were also able to get the user an upgraded box with WinXP and Office 2003. That helped, too. Now, I have other problems. The *(&%^%#^&I)_(*(%^^%!!!!!!!!!! Forms Cache! I have also done enough research there to know that MS also intends for a fix to be included in SP1 for OL 2003. Is that out yet? If not, when? One other problem I haven't found anything on is an intermittent problem where OL 2003 hangs, stalls and then crashes. Doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to this one, but it's as frustrating as the previous problems. > What do you mean by "painted incorrectly"? Where is the form published?

An intermittent crash is pretty hard to diagnose, but you might check the Windows event log for clues.
