Re: Outlook 2000 a little memory hungry?

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately it would appear that we get it on
emore than one machine, and it is really spurious and unfortunately
unpredictable.

Your posting is appreciated though.

Right then, we have found what is causing this issue. The new All
singing, All dancing security patch from Microsoft is the root of this
problem. Machines without the security patch work fine, however if
the patch is installed then opening a custom form from the view
control and then saving it crashes Outlook every time.

We have re-written the functionality of the view control in asp.

Problem solved.

Thanks for all those who answered.
