If the form doesn't run code after you have sent or saved an item using the
form, you probably have done something to "one-off" the form. Outlook 2003,
Outlook 2002, Outlook 2000 SP2 and Outlook 2000 or 98 with the Email
Security Update will not run code on one-off forms; see
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/secforms.htm for more information on this
issue.
To ensure that a form does not one-off:
-- Make sure the "Send form definition with item" box on the (Properties)
tab of the form is *not* checked. [1]
-- For in-house corporate use with Exchange Server, publish the form to the
Organization Forms library or a public folder's forms library, as
appropriate for your application.
-- For collaboration via the Internet, publish your form to your Personal
Forms library. Save it as an .oft file and send it to other people who need
to use it with instructions to publish it with the same form name that you
used.
Many other things can cause one-off forms. If the above steps don't work on
a new item created with your form, see
http://www.slipstick.com/dev/formpub.htm#oneoff for other possible causes.
[1] Whenever you publish a message form, Outlook will suggest that you may
want to check the "Send form definition with item" box to ensure that the
recipient will have the form, especially if you're sending to someone via
the Internet. In the current Outlook security environment, this suggestion
is obsolete. Ignore it unless your form has no code behind it.

Greetings,
I have a custom form made on first instance to work in Outlook
2000 with Exchange 5.5, now we are using Outlook 2003 as client with
Exchange 5.5, as mail server. The form is published in my personal forms
library. I send it to myself in order to test it, and when receiving it, my
script doesn't run, there must be some security issue that i'm not taking
into account. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
