Custom Outlook Form - Item_Reply event does not fire

[dch3]

I'm thinking that the issue is that the form is ending up as a one-off, but
I'm not certain.

I have a form that has code in the Item_Reply event that takes values in
several custom fields and insert it in to the message body, however the code
is not executing.

At this time, the form is published, but to my Personal Forms Library. When
I create a new item and send it, the form definition is successfully sent.

Ideas?

Did you leave the "send form definition with item" box unchecked? That's a requirement if you want the form to run code. Also see http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=61,

No. I checked it because I was under the impression that it had to be in
order for the custom fields and code to be sent. (I think I love Microsoft as
much as I love the IRS)

The code is never "sent." Outlook will retrieve it only from a published form. The article I cited gives the prerequisites -- publication in the Organizational Forms library, without that box checked. Personal Forms is fine for your initial testing, but you'll want to remove that version once you publish to Org Forms.
