Outlook 2003 cannot open any form

Hi all,

I have one user who cannot open any form in Outlook 2003 SP3. Actually she only needs one but as this one did not work I tried others and each one fails opening with the following message:

"The form you selected could not be displayed. The form required to view this message cannot be displayed. Contact your administrator."

I tried - I think - everything. Cleared forms cache through Outlook and through file system. I changed Outlook profile from cached mode to non-cached. I tried settings the registry keys I found in some of the MS KB articles. I even created a new Outlook profile for her but to no avail and did a repair of the Office installation. so I am stuck here somehow and hope to get some help from a really Outlook expert.

Thanks in advance.

@kaskhedikar: As I mentioned I already deleted the forms cache. I also read this whole article you mentioned.

@xpsavy: The path is there. New frmcache.dat is created when I try to open the form. Also a subfolder IPM.Note.<formname> is created. Also the tmp file is created and permissions on this file are correct. Can you think of other issues with that path?

Actually after the PC was switched off over the weekend the form is now opening fine again. Don't know why. Nevertheless I will award you some points for your answers. Thank you.
