OK call off the rescue party! It seems I have to save the appointment item
again if I update the userproperties during the write event. The change does
persist for a while so Outlook Spy shows it and that made me think it was
saved OK, but it wasn't.

I still have problems I'm afraid. I am adding a userproperty when the user
saves a new appointment and setting its value with my user reference string.
I can go to the saved appointment with Outlook Spy and my property is there
and set correctly.

I right click and delete the appointment. Go into the deleted items folder
and open the item with Outlook Spy - the user property has gone -
userproperties.count is 0.

Thanks for this.

I suppose the second paragraph means I shouldn't write to this property?

The first para is a great help though I have clearly misunderstood
something
I read (or read some internet garbage), and it sounds like I can just use
a
user property. Will try that tomorrow.

Thanks
