Thank you very much for your answer Ken!
No, there is (nearly :-) no other code or anything that can make it fire. I will post everything below.
Is there any possibility to trap what makes the thing run?

That's not normal, I can open items in public folders without firing Item_Change.

Do the items in that folder run any code that changes something when the item is opened? Is there any macro code or other code
that would run on open that would change the item?

Hello
I am monitoring a public contacts folder (on an exchange server). Every time a contact is changed a program should be
launched.
But the event occures even when the contact is only opened. Nothing needs to be changed to let the event fire.
Do I need to take an other event?
My code is below
Thank you very much for your help!!!!
