The forms you create in Outlook VBA and the forms that display Outlook data
stored in folders are two entirely different types of forms. If users are
entering data into a database using a VBA userform, what connection does
that have with a public folder?

If you're not actually saving data in the public folder (which is what your
description sounds like), why not just have code in the custom form's
Item_Open event launch your existing data entry application?

The users don't need any connection with public folder. Users want a data

entry form in the public folder. the data they entered is updated in the
database. They want to see the form in Public folder. for example, i can do
this in Access or Excel or even as .exe application in VB. users don't know
anything about software. they barely writing emails via outlook. so the
company wants to put an input form in the public folder to capture the date.
