The district I work for uses Novell Groupwise as our e-mail/calendar application. I despise it.
That’s not the point, the point is that I had/have Outlook set up to work off-line for me as a calendar/datebook. I use a program called CompanionLink to synch it with my Google Calendar, and everything has been hunky-dory for months.
Just out of the blue the other day, when try to create a new appointment on the calendar I get a message that says the “Form required to view this message cannot be displayed”. It happens regardless if I click on the empty date in the calendar, or use the drop down menu to make a New Appointment.
I can open an existing appointment, but only after getting a message that says the same thing with an added “…Outlook will use an Outlook form instead” The only thing I can think of is that I installed a 2007 version of Streets & Trips that appears to have created a new default form in Outlook - something about synching appointments with places on the map. I uninstalled Streets, and reinstalled to see if there’s an option I need to not enable and didn’t see it.
Anyone with a good idea how to make Outlook use it’s own default forms again?
By the by - since this has happened, the CompanionLink isn’t working from Google to Outlook, but seems to be in the other direction.
