list (excel?), the second item is the date of today, the third item is a
subject line wich has to be defined by the user.

Is this for internal use only, in an Exchange environment?

Then you'll want to put the code in the form's Item_Open event handler. Create a function to generate the text you want (you know what you want to do -- we don't), then call that function when a new item opens:

Function Item_Open()
If Item.Size = 0 And Item.Subject = "" Then
Item.Subject = YourFunction()
End If
End Function

You can use an InputBox() function to prompt the user for their part and the Month(), Year(), and Day() functions to get you the numeric values from the date.
