Are you certain there's code in that custom form, and not an Add-In that's
doing something? AFAIK, it's impossible to use the preview pane if there's
ANY code behind a custom form.

BTW, there's a microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms newsgroup specific to
forms questions.

Hi all,

I'm trying to write a custom form which allows users to perform some
tasks before sending. My problem is however that because the form does
stuff on startup, recipients get the preview pane active scripting
error.

We however also have Evault which replaces old email items with a
custom form (IPM.Note.EnterpriseVault.Shortcut) which has loads of vb
code inside, however shows in the preview pane fine and when you open
it, runs code to pull an existing email from the vault and displays it
as a normal outlook item.

I'm trying to figure out how they've got it to run code when opening
the email message, but outlook doesn't complain when previewing the
item. Any ideas as I'm stumped and really need a solution!

Thanks,

Kristan
