Installing VB Scripting Support dangers?

[Lisa Yamamoto]

Does anyone know if you are open to anything potentially dangerous if you
install the VB Scripting Support for Outlook 2002 (XP)? We want to
implement a form (.oft) file that a user created using VB script.

Our concern is the .vbs worms, etc....

thanks,

Lisa

You will need to publish the form (not run it from an .oft file), before the script will work. Assuming you trust the user or review the code yourself, there should be no danger.
