In Outlook 2003 I'm not able to list, update, or view custom fields that I
have created using the userproperies.add method. The custom fields appear in
the "show fields" window in Outlook, but I can't access them in code. The
following is supposed to list all fields in the calendar folder, including
the custom fields; however, only the Outlook-defined fields show. What's
wrong with my code??

Public Sub viewfields()
Dim oolAppointmentItem As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim oolItemProperties As Outlook.ItemProperties
Dim oolItemProperty As Outlook.ItemProperty
Dim molcalendarfolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Set molcalendarfolder = pnspMAPI.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
For Each oolAppointmentItem In molcalendarfolder.Items
With oolAppointmentItem
Set oolItemProperties = .ItemProperties
For Each oolItemProperty In oolItemProperties
Debug.Print oolItemProperty.Name, oolItemProperty.Value
Next
End With
Stop
Next
End Sub
 
Defining properties in a folder does not assign them to individual items in
that folder. The individual items will not contain a custom property unless
either (a) a value has been set for the property or (b) the item was created
with a custom form that includes the property in question.
