Can’t open this Item Outlook on Search/Find

Can't-open-this-itemWhen opening email from a Find / Search in Outlook 2003 you get “can’t open this item”

Is you use custom forms this is due to the custom form cache filling up and needing to be cleared , below code will do this is you copy and paste it into a VBS file
