Outlook 2003 Custom Form Error Handling

My custom form is a custom appointment form, so they are working with
appointments off the Calendar.

Yes, I am adding stuff to the Body property. To test, I decided to remove
all my code (so that it still works) that alters Item.Body. The behavior is
still the same - the message body is gone. Only when I remove that
Item.GetInspector code when the body of the message stays intact.

And yes, the resource calendar is set to autoaccept - but this is not using
a custom script. We're using Outlook 2003 on Exchange 2003 and are not even
using auto-accept agent. The way we set up our resource calendar was from
Tools > Options > Preferences (Tab) > Calendar Options (Button) > Resource
Scheduling (Button) > Automatically accept meeting requests... (option
checked). No extra bells and/or whistles. Perhaps Outlook 2003 has some
scripts running for that I don't know about?

It is still very strange that this behavior happens only when 'Allow Scripts
to Run on Shared Calendars' is checked.

Thanks for your patience.
