Hello all!
I have developped new user forms (actually tasks) in Outlook and I wish
people on my local network could also use these tasks.
The trouble is those tasks were developped with 'unconventionnal' tools
(MSFlexGrid).
So when i try and import the task involved on another computer, I get
en error message :
-either the component is told not to be installed
-or when i try and install MSFlexGrid component, the message error
says "the component is not well licensed"

So i am stuck on both subjects:
-how to "share" or distribute a user task through a network?
-is there a process to make a package of a task than can be
remotely installed (as I am used to doing with VBA projects)?
-are there any special setups to make before trying and using
MSFlexGrid or another component not installed?

Thank U for any help

You will need to distribute the grid control to all users and register
it on their systems, assuming you have a version of Visual Studio that
permits distributing licensed controls. You can use the P&D Wizard
from Visual Studio to do that or a Windows Installer package. A task
item can be saved as an OFT file and put in your distribution package.
You can even write code that runs as part of a Windows Installer
package that would automatically publish the form to the user's
Personal Forms library.

If you answer in this thread please post some of the preceding thread,
you are using the horrid ExcelTips interface, which doesn't do that
and it makes a thread impossible to follow.
