OL98: Opening a Custom Recurring Meeting Request Causes Macro Warning

ID: Q145957

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you open a recurring appointment sent with a custom form in Microsoft Outlook 98, the following message may appear:

Warning: Opening "Untitled"

The form for this item has not been registered in this folder or in your company's forms library. Because this item contains macros, which could contain a virus harmful to your computer, you may not want to run the macros.

If you are sure this item is from a trusted source, click 'Enable macros'. Otherwise, click 'Disable macros'.
This may happen even though a form has been registered in the Organizational Forms Library.


CAUSE

When the custom recurring meeting form was created as a new object, it did not inherit its status as a registered form.
