I'm getting an error when attempting to run the forms manager. It says:

"Unable to display the dialog box. No pages in the property sheet due to low
memory. Close some windows or programs."

Outlook is the only application I have running. How do I get rid of this? I
have run the detect and repair feature and still get the error. I need to
delete several forms from the personal forms directory.

Thanks,
Mark

The message indicates that you are running low on memory. Outlook does become
a memory hog if it is left open and in focus. Try minimizing it for a minute
or so, till it releases its extra memory, then bring it up and go for the
dialog.

Thanks for replying Hollis. I tryed that and there was no change. I've also
rebooted between trys, shut down not needed process such as iTunehelper, etc.
and can't find anything that would be eating memory. I have 1G of physical
memory installed and have never had problems. Any thoughts?

Thanks again,
Mark

I was never good at tracking down these sort of problems. I am basically out
sick since yesterday, and today can't even figure out how to use the Walgreen
Afrin spray bottle. Bummer. I will ask the other Outlook people, who have been
more concerned with these kinds of problem, to stop in and give some aid.

Thanks so much. I've hit a deadend with this. Hope you feel better.
