Thanks Paul. I have it published, and everything works ok. But how can I
make a shortcut to open up the form? I don't want to click File, New,
Choose Form..... I have many forms that I use, so it would be nice to have
shortcuts.

Thanks again for your help,
Joel

Any idea?

It is by design that code does not run when a form is opened from a ..oft
file. You need to publish it to your Exchange Organization Forms Library,
or the personal forms library in your Outlook .pst file, and then run it
from Outlook. If it is a .oft file, it is not trusted. If it is a
published form, then it is a trusted object, and the code will run.
