SYMPTOMS

When you try to forward or reply to a custom message created using version 1.0 of Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer, you may receive the following error code:
MAPI_FAILURE

CAUSE

This error can occur when messages are stored in shared folders and E-Form caching is turned on.

[E-Form Cache]
Maximum=0

STATUS
