"Microsoft Office Outlook: The operation Failed"

[hcleb]

I am trying to program a form in VBS and while testing everything works fine.
However when other comapny members open the form and send to another
individual for approval the recipient can't open the form. The following
message from the above subject line appears. Microsoft Visual Studio
Debugger stops at the following line in my code:

line before stop reads:
Sub Item_CustomPropertyChange(ByVal Name)
Set MyForm = item.getinspector.modifiedformpages("Vacation Request")

Again when I test the form on my machine the code works just fine but for
others opneing the "Read" portion of the form they get the error.

Also when i attempt to open saved .oft files from my hard drive I get this
error "The custom form could not be opened. Outlook will use an Outlook form
instead". I never had this problem before.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Custom forms may no longer be used unless they are published. Trying to open
an OFT file for anything but designing a form no longer works.

Just curious then, so I do I open .oft files if I have saved custom forms
that were not published?

Was that "how do I open custom forms saved as OFT files"? Select Tools,
Forms, Design a Form, select forms in the file system from the drop-down and
navigate to the OFT in the file system.
