>>> If you want to try something, try this:

>>> Clean up the forms cache:
>>>
>>> To do so, follow these steps:
>>> 1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
>>> 2. Click the Other tab, and then click Advanced Options.
>>> 3. Click Custom Forms.
>>> 4. Click Manage Forms.
>>> 5. Click Clear Cache.
>>> 6. Close all open windows, and then restart Outlook 2003.
>>>
>>> If the above does not work, try the following.
>>>
>>> Deleting the Forms Cache File:
>>> The Frmcache.dat file is the primary file to delete. The Frmcache.dat
>>> file serves as an index of the individual forms that have been cached
>>> on the computer. Use the following steps to manually delete the

>>> forms on your computer, which are stored in subfolders of the
>>> Forms folder.
>>>
>>> 1.. Quit Outlook.
>>> 2.. Search the Hard drive () to locate the Frmcache.dat file.
>>> (Be sure to check in HIDDEN files on W2K or WXP.)
>>> 3.. Delete all that are found from the FIND window.
>>> 4.. Open Outlook.

>>> When you restart Outlook, and use a form, the forms cache
