You cannot create an item of this type in this folder
in [General]
|
From: Clif McIrvin on 24 Dec 2009 12:02 Outlook 2003 I suppose I'm missing something obvious. I'm trying to set a custom form as the default form for one of my folders, and I'm getting "You cannot create an item of this type in this folder." when I try to select my custom form from the Folder Properties General tab "When posting to this folder, use ...." control. The custom form in question was created from a "New Message | Design this form | ... | Publish Form | Personal Forms Library" sequence. I can add the new form to the Folder Properties Forms tab, and it shows up (and works as intended) from the Actions menu of that folder. Shouldn't I be able to set my new form as the default form for that folder, so that (at least) when I Reply to a message in that folder I get my form instead of IPM.Note (the Outlook default)? Actually, what I'd really like to do is have my form invoked when I type CTRL+N to compose a new message. What am I missing? -- Clif

From: Clif McIrvin on 26 Dec 2009 20:35 My custom folder and the Inbox are at the same level of the tree under "[Username] Folders". I probably created this folder from the "New Folder" option of the "Move Message" dialog when moving a message from the Inbox. -- Clif "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" <outlookmvp(a)msn.com> wrote in message news:4B2CEC27-A1A0-4578-8C36-4D0D4CBFDA25(a)microsoft.com... > What folder are you trying to make the form for?

From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 27 Dec 2009 11:37 So it should allow you to set the form.

From: Clif McIrvin on 28 Dec 2009 09:33 Yeah, that's what I expected. On the folder Properties General tab the type is Mail and Post items, the default form is shown as IPM.Post; my form message class is IPM.Post.MyFormName. I notice that on the folder properties dialog most of the Administration tab is greyed out (Initial view is the only available setting) and on the Forms tab "Allow these forms in this folder" is greyed out. Is this telling me there are some settings somewhere that need to be chagned? -- Clif "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" <outlookmvp(a)msn.com> wrote in message news:5EE101E6-306E-48CC-98C1-2B2E38B87BDD(a)microsoft.com... > So it should allow you to set the form.
