XCLN: Using Microsoft Mail Forms with Exchange (159499)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Client 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Client 5.0
- Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client 5.0
This article was previously published under Q159499 SUMMARY
Electronic Forms created in Microsoft Mail version 3.x can be used from
within the Microsoft Exchange client, but cannot be opened or modified by
the Microsoft Exchange Electronic Forms Designer nor "migrated" to a native
Microsoft Exchange Electronic Form.
MORE INFORMATION
In order for Microsoft Mail Electronic Forms to be accessible from the
Microsoft Exchange client, there must be an Msmail.ini and a Shared.ini
file (created by the Microsoft Mail client) on the client computer with the
proper pointers to the locations of the Microsoft Mail forms.
In order to access Microsoft Mail forms from a Microsoft Exchange client
computer that did not have the Microsoft Mail client installed prior to
upgrading, an Msmail.ini and a Shared.ini file must be copied from a known
working computer and/or the existing .ini files must be manually modified
with the proper pointers.
If the Msmail.ini and Shared.ini have the proper entries, you can access
the Microsoft Mail forms by clicking "Compose/ ......" You cannot access
the forms by clicking New Form on the Compose menu, nor will a menu
selection appear under the Compose option (as do Exchange Forms installed
in a Public Folder).
