Default Tab not visible on custom form

I have recently re-designed a custom task form. I have left the original
main form visible and hidden the Details tab. I also created a custom tab
with user defined fields.

I am having problems when opening the form on a different computer. When
double-clicking on the .oft, the custom tab is not visible and the form goes
back to the default view. However, when I open the custom form from within
Outlook (New... Choose Form or Design Form) and navigate to the form on the
file system, I can see the tab.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and know how to correct it?

Thanks in advance.

This is by design. It is one of the new security measures. You need to open
the form from within Outlook and then publish it to the personal forms Library,
if you are not on an Exchange system and can use the Organizational Forms
Library.
