Default How to add an userpropertie to an email folder?

Yes, after switching to another folder the filed is present.

Is there any other way? I need to access the field directly after it
was created without folder switching.

Thanks,
Peter

Says that this property does not exists. In the fields selector in
Outlook it is not present but with RDO I can access the created field.

You can use Redemption ot add user fields to a folder - it does not try to
be "smart" and you do not need to create a dummy message just to add a
field:


set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
Session.MAPIOBJECT = Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT
set Folder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("t est")
set FolderFields = Folder.FolderFields
set Field = FolderFields.Add("MyTestProperty", olText)
FolderFields.Save

Hi Michael,


I cannot add an item to a specified email folder, it will always
created on the folder which is set for new items (normally the drafts
folder). And moving from this folder to the destination folder and
then adding an userproperty will not work :-(

Or is it possible with MapiTables to search for UserProperties in
Items? So It would not be necessary to create folder fields.

Default How to add an userpropertie to an email folder?

Are all references to the folder and user property objects released? If they
are it's just one of those Outlook things.

You can use a UserProperty as a column in a MAPITable and you can also
reference properties added to PS_PUBLIC_STRINGS that aren't user properties
or you can add your own properties using a unique GUID of your own as the
namespace instead of using PS_PUBLIC_STRINGS. Just use the correct GUID, tag
and property type when you set the column.

Thank you Ken, I will try it with the MapiTables and perhaps with the
PS_PUBLIC_STRINGS.

Yes, MAPITable would not care less if a property is defined on the folder
level as long as you provide the right property tag

Default How to add an userpropertie to an email folder?

Thank you Ken for the hint with the GUID. I tryed it and it seems to
work very good.

Thank you Dmitry for the Redemption.dll which is a great and very
helpful utility.

At least one more question: If I try to copy an item with an added
property from a write protected folder an error occurs (something like
"access problem"). The code to copy an item is this:

If Not objRDOItem Is Nothing Then Call
objRDOItem.CopyTo(objRDOFolder2)

In Outlook you can set a reference to a moved item e. g. Set objItem =
objItem.move(objFolder)

I tryed this for the RDOItem too, but this does not work: If Not
objRDOItem Is Nothing Then Set objRDOItem =
objRDOItem.CopyTo(objRDOFolder2)

Is there another method to get the reference of the copied item? If
so, I could add the property after I copied the item. If it is not
possible I would copy it to a temp folder, add the property and then
move it to the destination folder. But this is not very comfortable.

CopyTo is a sub, it has no return value. item.Move is a function and returns
a new moved item just as in the OOM. Why not just use CopyTo with an RDOMail
item as the target, that gives you a new copied item and then you can do
whatever you want with it, including moving it.

Thank you Ken for the hint with the GUID. I tryed it and it seems to
work very good.

Thank you Dmitry for the Redemption.dll which is a great and very
helpful utility.

At least one more question: If I try to copy an item with an added
property from a write protected folder an error occurs (something like
"access problem"). The code to copy an item is this:

If Not objRDOItem Is Nothing Then Call
objRDOItem.CopyTo(objRDOFolder2)

In Outlook you can set a reference to a moved item e. g. Set objItem =
objItem.move(objFolder)

I tryed this for the RDOItem too, but this does not work: If Not
objRDOItem Is Nothing Then Set objRDOItem =
objRDOItem.CopyTo(objRDOFolder2)

Is there another method to get the reference of the copied item? If
so, I could add the property after I copied the item. If it is not
possible I would copy it to a temp folder, add the property and then
move it to the destination folder. But this is not very comfortable.

Default How to add an userpropertie to an email folder?

Thanks, Ken, that was a very good idea. I didn`t know that it`s
possible to create a new message in the destination folder and then
copy the source item to it.

Thanks to all which spent their time to answer my and ohters
questions!

CopyTo is a sub, it has no return value. item.Move is a function and returns
a new moved item just as in the OOM. Why not just use CopyTo with an RDOMail
item as the target, that gives you a new copied item and then you can do
whatever you want with it, including moving it.
