Default Problem with customized outlook forms

Hi Community,

I am suffering from a very strange problem. I have developed a customized
form. This customized form has been published in Organization form library.
When i create a new contact item while using that customized form, it works
fine. Form opens as it required to be. The Item_Open event written in vb
script in code section works well. New item is created. All is good. But when
i open this saved item, the Item_Open event is not called and hence all the
functions that are called in Item_Open event are not called. I am unable to
know that why this strange behaviour is occuring.
I need very quick response over it due to strict timelines

Thanking you

It sounds like there is something in your form that is causing it to be
one-off-ed. Code does not run in one-off-ed forms. See the following

Default Problem with customized outlook forms

Thx Paul
The purposed solution mentioned in the article is that "Do not use possible
values" property of the combo box to avoid from to be one-off ed form. Use
list property or ListItem to add items in the combo boxes. i am using List
property to bind my array of data to the contro. So this problem should not
come. The problem arises when i open the saved item. When i open the saved
item, the Item_Open event does not fire.
Is there any possibility that when i click on "Save and Close" button, the
form becomes one-off. Just a thought. Don't know what's the theory behind
this problem.

Regards

Thanx Paul

You very intelligently thought about the problem. Infact form was becoming
onf-off when i was saving it. It's message class was being changed that made
it happen to be one-off.

Thanx Paul once again

Best Regards

There are many other possible code statements or scenarios that can one-off an item. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/secforms.htm

The MessageClass and Size properties of the saved items will clearly tell you if they're one-offs.

Unfortunately, that does not pinpoint the problem. The only solution is to go
back to the last-good version of the form and re-design it. This time, make
very small changes (like 1 control at a time) and republish and test. Make
sure that you keep at least three generations of the published form so you
aren't forced back to ground zero when the one-off condition finally occurs.
