Q157683: XCLN: Forms Designed with Many Fields Might not Show Them All

Article: Q157683
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): WINDOWS:4.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 29-OCT-2000

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, version 4.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, version 4.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Creating a Microsoft Exchange custom form containing a large number of objects
might not show all the fields when the form is displayed.

CAUSE
=====

The problem is that forms registry allocates a 1024 byte buffer to read in all
the keys under the [Properties] section. We are writing out the keys as
Property'N' and this uses up that buffer quickly.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange clients,
version 4.0, listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected
in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 4. For information on
obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

  S E R V P A C K

In Microsoft Exchange Service Pack 4 (SP4), these files are not automatically
installed by the Setup program. You need to copy two files, Msajt200.dll and
Vbfsm.dll, to your Windows\System directory for Windows 3.x and Windows 95 or
the <system-root>\System directory for Windows NT.

Please note that since these are 16-bit files, they should NOT be copied to the
System32 directory. For additional information about how to obtain this file,
