Hi,

I have a folder that contains custom contact items with
an associated custom form. I have changed the VBscript
code for the form several times since I created the
folder. I am now finding that some of the items seem to
invoke the old form/code rather than the latest version.
(When this happens Outlook always displays the embedded
macro warning when I am opening the item.) The folder is
a public folder in Exchange 5.5 and I publish the form in
the folder.

Why would this happen and is it possible to ensure that
all items in the folder use the last version of the form?

Thanks,
Seamus Conlon

Items are being one-offed and you probably aren't changing the Version
property each time you change the form. So the forms cache is being
corrupted.
