Forms support in Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2007?

[joja15]

We just migrated from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2007. We have a mixed
environment of Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2003 clients. We used to have
a custom Vacation request form that worked great in that environment
with the Exchange 5.5 server. Now with Exchange 2007 they no longer
work. I have been told that the problem is that Exchange 2007 does not
properly support public folders and it will be fixed with the Exchange
2007 SP1. Is there any work around that we can do in the meantime to
get a custom form to work in our organization? It seems like it is
still going to be awhile before the Exchange 2007 SP1 is released.

Thank you in advance for any help provided.

I don't know what might be meant by "properly support." Any message form, however, must be published either in the Organizational Forms library or in each user's Personal Forms library. Even though Org Forms is a system folder, it is still part of the public folders hierarchy. Therefore, if the Exchange 2007 installation doesn't include public folders, you won't have an Org Forms library. The microsoft.public.exchange.admin newsgroup can go into this in more detail, I'm sure.
