immediately, whithout having to start it.

Hi Maurice. There is only two reliable ways to do this:

1) Create an Outlook Add-In that is installed on the receiver's computer
2) Create a custom e-mail form that is installed in the receiver's Personal
Forms library (or in Exchange if they are using it).

It sounds like this would probably not be feasible for you though. But by
default, code in Outlook forms that are e-mailed to other users who do not
have the "master" copy of the custom form installed somewhere will not run:

Office Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2002 does not run VBScript code when you open

Hi Eric,

we are using a exchange form lib.
please explain me how to create a custom form, then I will make sure
that the form is stored in the lib.

I assume the receiver is in the same Exchange organization, otherwise you'll
have two different libraries that you'd need to publish the form to.

Explaining how to create a custom form is a large topic - best you consume
some of the resources here and I'll gladly help you with specific questions:
