My Outlook Custom Forms have been ruined by a secuity issue in SP2

[Guest]

I had developed 6 custom forms in Outllook 2003 and Windows XPpro which we
had used with much success in our facility for over 3 years. But after
installing SP2 the forms can be opened at the point of origin, data entered
and sent. But when the recipient gets it the form opens blank with no form
format. I have removed them from my Cache, republished them with new names,
but the security issue still strips all the data from the form. Is there any
way to make these appear to be a "safe" when they arrive, so they will open?
We have a temporary "fix" by attaching the form to a blank e-mail as an
attachment, but this requires extra steps to send and to process when
recieved and has made there continued use questionable.

Sounds like your forms are one-offing. Make sure you are publishing them to the Organizational Forms library with the "send form definition with item" box unchecked.
