OL2000: ReadOnly Property Causes One-off Form

• Microsoft Outlook 2000

SYMPTOMS

You create an Outlook custom form solution that programmatically uses the ReadOnly property of a control, and then the form becomes a one-off. When an item is a one-off, the typical symptoms include:

• The size of an item may increase.



• The message class changes to the standard message class for that type of item.



• The "enable/disable" macro warning may unexpectedly appear.

CAUSE

Outlook 2000 differs from previous versions in that you can programmatically set the Message control of a form to read-only. This change is most likely the cause of the one-off side effect, but it is unclear at this time. This issue is still being investgated.
