XADM: Cannot Move E-form Message From a Public Folder to a Mailbox or PST File

ID: Q182051

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.0, 5.5

SYMPTOMS

If you try to move or copy a message created with a custom E-form from a public folder to a folder in your mailbox or a PST file, you may encounter the following error message in the Exchange Client:

An item could not be copied. There is not enough memory available to
perform the operation.

If you perform the same operation in the Outlook Client, you will receive the following error message:

Can't copy the items. Could not make another copy of the item. The
original was either moved or deleted, or access was denied.

As a result of this error, the E-form message that you are trying to move or copy is not copied or moved to the destination.

CAUSE

The E-form message contains fields that can be multi-propertied. One or more of these properties is null, which causes the error when you try to move or copy it to another location.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, use version 1461.3 of Store.exe and the following associated supporting files for Exchange Server 5.0:


   Store.exe 1461.3 (or use 5.0 SP3)
   MDBMSG 1461.3 (or use 5.0 SP3)
   Gapi32.dll 1460.8 (or use 5.0 SP3)

or use version 2138.0 for Exchange Server 5.5.
