The information in this article applies to:
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client 5.0
This article was previously published under Q244831 SUMMARY
When you try to open a form created with the Microsoft Exchange Client Forms Designer or the Outlook Forms Designer on a computer running Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, the form does not start. The message "installing form" appears, but then Outlook stops responding.
MORE INFORMATION
You must have supporting .dll files for the forms to work on Terminal Server.
There are two methods that you can use to install the supporting .dll files without having to keep the client Forms Designer installed on Terminal Server.
The first method is to run the client Forms Designer Setup program on the server, re-run Setup, and click Remove All. This removes the client Forms Designer, however, the supporting .dll files are not removed because they are considered shared components. NOTE: You can install the client Forms Designer from the Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, version 5.0, compact disk. The program is in the following folder:
Clients\Retail\Eng\Efdsetup
The second method is to manually copy the needed files from a computer that has the Exchange Client Forms Designer installed on it. The necessary files are:
Dao2516.dll
Msajt200.dll
Vaen21.olb
Msjeterr.dll
Vbajet.dll
Msjetint.dll
Vbdb16.dll
Copy these seven files into the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder on the Terminal Server computer.
You then need to run the Regsvr.exe executable file, to register the 16-bit Microsoft Jet DAO Library. Use the following parameters:
NOTE: In some cases, the registration of the 16-bit Microsoft Jet DAO Library has to be performed each time a user logs on to the Terminal Server session. This can be done through a system logon script.
By default, users have write access to all portions of the Windows registry on the Terminal Server computer. However, if you have any custom Outlook forms installed on the computer, and you have configured the Windows registry on the Terminal Server computer to restrict user access, then users must have write access to the following registry key:
NOTE: In addition to setting the permissions for all users to have write access, you may also have to set the permissions to "Interactive" if the default permissions have been changed.
