You'll need to run a script or VBA code to change the value of the MessageClass property of the existing items to point to the class of your new published form.

Ok, I've found the code that will help me to do it but I juste don't know
where to put it :\
Sub changeMessageClass()
Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set OlNs = olApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set TasksFolder = olNs.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks)
Set TasksItems = TasksFolder.Items
For Each Itm in TasksItems
If Itm.MessageClass <> "IPM.Task.MyForm" Then
Itm.MessageClass = "IPM.Task.MyForm"
Itm.Save
End If
Next
End Sub

The code you have can be run from any Office program VBA environment.

Did you publish the new form under a different name? Or did you just change the version number and use the same message class?

I've published it on the same name but I change some fields on it and my
version number!

Then the code won't do anything at all, because the old and new MessageClass values are the same.

Where is the form published? If you create a new item with the published form, do you see the new version? If you then open an existing item, what version does Help | About This Form show?
