The Outlook forms passwords don't protect jack sh!t.  They are nothing more
than a decorative item.  Even the "home grown wanna be" people can get to
the password very easily.  All you need to do is read the help file for OOM.

The key is securing your forms library.  You can't protect the users from
going to design mode and poking around, but you can prevent them from
publishing the messed up version overwriting the production form.

So, the only threat is from a disgruntled Exchange admin.  But, you do keep
your Exchange Gods happy, don't you?

Subject: RE: How Organizational Forms Work?


Well,  first - do not give disgruntled employees permission to post
Organizational forms. Second, password protect all the forms before you
post.  Keep the password list safe so you can "unlock" the form. Usually,
the developers want to password protect their own forms - don't let them.
You need to be in control. The password protection on forms is not the
greatest, but it keeps most of the home grown "wanna be's" at bay.  And if
you happen to run into a REAL hacker and he has access to your network,
Outlook forms will be the least of your problems.....
