Need other testers/users?
Hello Bollinger (Mattias),
I'm very interested in using your customization. Are you near a final release?
If not, I'd be willing to help in testing as well. I'm a SW Developer with over 20 years experience and have done many Outlook/Exchange customizations in the past.
I don't want to complicate anything however that would delay your release
All best,
TurboJones

Taskline Software Compatibility
Super work Bollinger! Can't wait for the final release and you can add me to the list of people who will contribute via Paypal to your stupendous effort. I would like to ask your opinion on compatibility with Taskline. I am using your older form to manage projects and Taskline does not process Projects built on your custom form. I spoke to Taskline support who confirm that it is a now a known issue with them. However, taskline does process all the tasks relating to any project, so it does not really interfere with the day-to-day handling of tasks that get posted to the calendar by the software. This question is of low priority (the highest being the feedback from the dedicated beta testers on this thread and your work to get the final version available!). I just thought I'd post it for the benefit of users who may be facing the same issues. Thanks

Line 281 error when in High Security
Wanted to give you an update on my experience with this error.
Outlook 2003 installed at work a couple of weeks ago, so I thought I would be up and running in no time with the new form. The glitch I found was that they had set Security settings to High, and I couldn't change it; so I was still out of luck. I finally found a work-around, and have instructions for this below. So if you have to have High security on your Outlook settings, this will allow you to use the custom form:
The work around is to get a digital certificate for the application. I found out you can purchase these from various vendors, but the cheap way is to make your own. To do this, you use a program called selfcert.exe. This comes with Office 2003, but is not routinely installed; you can get it installed by using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel; click on Change; then Add or Remove Features; then select "Choose advanced customization of features". Under Office Shared Features, click on "Digital Certificate for VBA Projects" and click on "Run from my computer". Then install and selfcert.exe will be installed in your Crogram FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice 11 folder. Go there and run selfcert, and enter your name in the Your Name box, then click OK.
Now open Outlook, then click on Tools>>Macro>>Visual Basic Editor. Then click on Tools>>Digital Signature, then Choose and select the signature you just created. Finally, close Outlook and restart it (save changes if asked to do so). Now click on Always trust this signature and Enable Macros and you are all set.
Hope this helps anyone in the same boat.

On one particular project I am getting the Script Error on Line No:227 too! I have the custom view named correct. It is just one project though... I have deleted the project and recreated it to no avail. The other projects work fine and even have appointments associated with them. This project HAD appointments associated with it, but I removed them to see if that would fix the issue, but it did not.Stevie_G said:
Errors associated with single projects...
One thing to check regarding errors with the form concerning single projects...check the project name. I've found that project titles with special characters (particulary apostrophes) don't seem to work. Tough for me as I do a lot of work with a Queen's University (ie. with an apostrophe in the title)...
Hope this helps,
Peter

help please
For the life of me I cannot get this form to display. I've gone through the setup steps many many times. All I see is the original gtd form. Can anybody provide some help? I'm using outlook 2003.

Custom form
Hello all ... wanted to do a follow-up (had it in my tickler) to see if work was still progressing on this. I noticed that Mattias hasn't posted to this thread in almost 5 months - should the rest of us consider this dead? Or will the new form, with instructions, still be available? Thank you ...

I'm not dead, yet...
Hi all!
Sorry for keeping everyone of you waiting for version 2 of the custom project form. I never thought this form would cause so much attention.
The new form will be availible, but I can't tell when it's ready.
Again, I'm working full time with other things so development on the form is restricted to spare time.
This is what I've done lately:
- The Outlook form is now converted into a .NET-addin to simplify installation and to get rid of bugs that couldn't be resolved.
What's left:
- I'm currently working on a installation program for the new version.
- Final testing and packaging.
Regards
Mattias

Re-post of latest form w/instructions
While Mattias is finishing up version 2 of the form, is it possible for someone to post the latest and greatest file again, along with instructions for the novice Outlook user? Looking back thru this thread, I am not quite clear where the latest is, nor what the best set of instructions are. Much appreciated,
Chris

Followed Procedure - multiple times, still old form (?)
Beta testing the new form, but . . .
Sorry to be so simple, but I've tried and retried the entire procedure for updating the form. I'm in an Exchange environment, but the first form loaded without incedent.
Browsed the forums, but no clues there. Thoughts?
