Outlook 97 Switch Forms Utility

The Microsoft Outlook® and Microsoft Exchange clients each use a slightly different forms technology. When a user installs Microsoft Office97 or Microsoft Outlook, their system is configured to run Outlook. So, switching to use the Exchange client can cause slower performance. We recognize there are some users who will use both clients on the same system. To address these users` requirements as quickly as possible, the Outlook team shipped a utility with Office 97 which allows users to manually indicate which client they will be using so their system can be appropriately configured. This utility allows users to switch Between clients without any performance loss.

This utility is intended for Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange client users who have need to switch between the two different clients. Users who upgrade permanently to Outlook (and will never need to switch back to the Exchange client) or who haven`t yet upgraded to Office97 or Outlook97 will not need this utility. The utility is installed automatically upon download and is focused on substantially improving any e-mail client performance issues previously encountered by users who have installed Outlook, but continued to use the Exchange client for e-mail.
