Hello,

Can i safely add new user properties without messing with the security?

More info:

My data base hold some contacts from the contacts folder,instead of running
a query on the data base
in order to detect which contact is exist,I thought I can just add a new
property to the UserProperties collection,
but I read that in some circumstances outlook will display the
enable\disable script message
I count not understand when exactly(made some test).

BTW i am not using custom forms,and i am not changing the contact's form


10x.
 
Thanks.it is helping me a lot

If custom forms are not involved, there's no issue.

BTW,
Which pattern do you suggest i should use in order not to conflict with
other properties?
should i use GUID or maybe a combination of my company name and the propety
name?

UserProperties.ADD("{646C7907-0318-4a87-9645-A744A8BE5051}"........)
Userproperties.Add("MyCompanyName.PropertyName".........)

Remember that the name will be visible to users in folder views. You might
want to keep it simple.

If you add a property to an item created with a custom form, the form
one-offs and becomes embedded in the item, which means the code behind the
form no longer runs. Not good.
