Launch an outlook form failure

[Jreue]

I have created a custom contact form and published it in the Outlook Folders
library called IPM.Contact.testform1. I want to lauch this form from a
desktop shortcut which would execute the logic in the Item_Open() event, and
I have followed the instructions under
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/launchform.htm. My shortcut target looks like
this
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c
"IPM.Contact.testform1"

When I open the form in Outlook, everything works fine. When I run the
shortcut, the base contact form is displayed an not my customized one. Is
there something else I should be doing?

It's not quite clear where you published this form. You must publish it to the Personal Forms library if you want it to work with the /c switch.
