Hi Rupang,

Try moving the oft file to a location other than the template folder. I
believe that your problem is the "CreateItemFromTemplate" call. I believe I
had problems when I specified the last parameter and I see you are specifying
the contacts folder. Try removing that. That is what was giving me the
problem I believe. Also the form name is missing which might also be an issue.

Below is my C++ code which is sligtly different than yours.

CComVariant myFolder(DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR);
Outlook::_ContactItemPtr spCustomContactItem =
m_pApplication-CreateItemFromTemplate(
btCustomFormLocation,
myFolder);


spForm-PutName(_bstr_t(FORM_NAME_DEFINE));
spForm-PublishForm(Outlook:lFolderRegistry, _variant_t(spContacts, false));

Below is the code for publishing the oft form:
Please suggest that if it seems to be the root cause then how should I
modify it?

myFolder = m_olOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI").Folders.Item("My Contact
Management").Folders.Item("MyContacts")

myItem = m_olApp.CreateItemFromTemplate(myKey.GetValue("Tem platesPath") &
"\MyContact.oft", myFolder)
myItem.FormDescription.PublishForm(Outlook.OlFormR egistry.olFolderRegistry,
OpenMAPIFolder("\\My Contact Management\MyContacts"))

Hi Rupang,

It sounds like you are not publishing the form correctly. You may want to
revisist the way that you are publishing the form. If you are following an
example from CodeProject with regard to publishing a form then that is the
reason you are getting the exceptions thrown.


Tom -

That's correct! The PIA's are installed using the Office Setup.

Also the previous version of the Add-In works fine for this action as well!

Its just his new version that we release recently has introduced this issue!

There is no major change in any code or deployment technique!

Thanks,

I don't have any ideas on why that won't work. DId you install the PIA for Outlook 2003 by running Office setup?

Thats correct! The Large item body control does exists on the Contact Form
Layout.
Do I need to check any property ect?

And the Insert-File menu does work only this Insert-Item throws this
exception!

I am using published form and I am publising it to the our own Custom Folder
in the Custom PST file.


We have a Outlook 2003 AddIn developed in VB.NET (.NET1.1)

So when we open that Contact Form and click on the Insert-Item option on
the Menu bar; we get following error:

"Unhandled exception at 0x30069a0b in OUTLOOK.EXE: 0xC0000005: Access
violation reading location 0x00000000."

And then Outlook crashes!

What could be the problem and any solution to this problem?
