Dear Eric,
Many thanks for your help, but I cannot make it working :-(
First, I created a form, based on Standard IPM.Note and added to new
ields -"OriginalSenderName" and "OriginalSenderAddress". I put those fields
on the second page of form and made it hidden.I published the form in
Organization Forms Library on our Exchange 2000, wehere I have an owner
permissions. I named it IPM.Note.OurForwardNote. Other users got either
Publishing editor or Reviewer Permissions for that folder.
I created Sub in General section of ThisOutlookSession Object. Frankly
speaking, I just copied your text (many thanks again!), replacing
"IPM.Note.Test" to "IPM.Note.OurForwardNote" and "MyFieldSenderName" and
"MyFieldSenderAddress" to "OriginalSenderName" and "OriginalSenderAddress"
respectively.
I also put a Macros Security level for my Outlook to Medium level.
My counterpart within our Exchange organization added "OriginalSenderName"
and "OriginalSenderAddress" fields to his Inbox window (from the Published
form). When I forward to him any messages, he gets them, but with no
additional information so those filedsin his Inbox are empty.
I also tried to forward to my-selft. The same result.
When I push forward button in my Outlook and message is ready for forward,
I switched to the Form design view, and dfound that Outlook is using the
standard form instead of the Custom one.

Sorry, but what's is wrong?
Thank you in advance for your help!
