OLE registry Error

This is related to custom outlook forms..[ Outlook 2003 version(11.6568.6568) SP2 ]

I cannot open any forms at the moment as I am getting the following error.
"The Custom form could not be opened. Outlook will use an Outlook form
instead. An error occurred registering the form in the OLE registry."

Any help appreciated

Greetings, PACGDev !

1. Make sure you are the administrator or have permission to access the forms

2. Clear the form cache. Do a search for and rename frmcache.dat file. Restart Outlook. frmcache.dat is located in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder. It is a hidden file, so you have to unhide hidden files. Go to any folder and select Tools > Folders Options > View. Check "Show hidden files and folders". Click OK.

2. If no joy, Create a new Outlook profile.
