Hi,

I have created custom forms in multiple public Outlook folders and when
I send the GUID type link to the user, they receive an error: "Unable
to open the seleted folder or item". The same happens if I send the
Outlook type link.

However, if I ask the user to go to the folder and find the appropriate
posting, then the form opens and after that the link works, too.

Is this due to some Exchange server setting?

My clients are not the type that tolerate opening the form the long
way, they want a one click solution.

Please help, this is driving my team crazy. Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks, Adrienne
 
This is normal behavior. Outlook doesn't know to look in any non-default
store until that store has been "touched" once. Either train the users to
look in the PF hierarchy once each morning, write a little application to do
that for them, or use a different mechanism to retrieve the linked items.
