I am not sure of the exact details of my problem, so, I'll just describe it as best I can:

I had Microsoft Office 2002 Professional with FrontPage installed on a PC, including Office XP service pack 2. I then went and installed GroupWise 5.5 SP4 to get e-mail from work on this PC. Since then any attachments I get sent in Outlook that are a forwarded messages will try to start GroupWise up, I assume to view, while it should just open up a new outlook window; after I cancel that I get an error, telling me that the specified form cannot be loaded. I tried looking up this issue on Microsoft's knowledge base, and the nearest thing I could find was to delete the frmcache.dat file and do a detect and repiar in Office. I tried this, no luck.

Any helps is appreciated.

I'm not a groupwise expert, but I am fairly certain that GW and Outlook do not play well together. They both use certain OS files and cannot use them both at the same time.
I've seen GW totally corrupt Outlook installs at the very worst, and at best Outlook and GW should never be open at the same time.

Honestly every single other facet of both clients works perfectly, except for this damn Form problem. Thanks for the advice though.
