Default Offline and user defined form in public favorite folder

Hi, Outlook- experts,

I modified the IPM.TASK item and published in a public folder. Now
after I've read some artikels about cache, I have one question.

This public folder is set to accessable for all users. To ensure that
this folder is also available offline, we asked the user to add this
folder into the favorite and set "download the public favorite folder"
as TRUE. But a problem occurs when the user is offline and the form is
not found in the cache. Then the user defined form could not be loaded.


The only solution I could think is to use the one-off form (to store
the form in the item). But I've read so much about one-off form and all
indicate that on-off form may cause unexpected behavior. And I have no
idea how it will impact on the performancen, because all items in this
folder will be read and filled into one combobox of another user
defined form.

Has anyone a better idea?

Lucia

Hi, Sue,

as my form doesn't contain any VBScript and will be only used to save
up to 300 items, I decided to use one-off form. The size of all items
are doubled, but is still acceptable...

But if you have any new idea, I'd appreciate it.

best regards

Lucia

There's an option in the Send/Receive Settings for Synchronize Forms. I bet it's not checked in your case.

Hi, Sue,

Thanks a lot for your reply...

Do you mean the synchronization the items in public folder and in
favorite? It will just synchronize the items, but will not download the
form definition. Or am I wrong?

Did you look at the Send/Receive Settings details as I suggested? The options are quite clear -- downloading forms is a setting separate from downloading items.
