Note Item UserProperties in Outlook 2000

I am debugging a VB add-in for Outlook 2000.

The add-in successfully creates UserProperties for Contact, Appoinment and
Mail items, but when I try
to do the same for a note Item, I get 'Object doesn't support this property
or method' error.

Is this a known issue in Outlook 2000? Are there work arounds?

Thank You very much,

Leon
 
When in doubt, check the object browser: Press ALt+F11 to open the VBA
environment in Outlook, then press F2. Switch from <All Libraries> to
Outlook to browse all Outlook objects and their properties, methods, and
events. You'll quickly see that the NoteItem object does not support
UserProperties.
 
Thank You Sue!

Sue, I have a question. When I sync my PalmPilot, it puts a field for
the Palm Note category in that I can view in Outlook. If this field is
not a User Property, what could it be?

If you have a field named "Palm Note," it's definitely a custom property,
but not necessarily set or accessible via the non-existent
NoteItem.UserProperties collection. But are you seeing that on Outlook
sticky notes or on other items? I'd be curious about the value of the
Message Class property.

Sue,

In the Outlook Notes display, for a tabular list view, there is a
column titled "PalmPilot Category". The Message Class property of the
Note item is IPM.StickyNote. When I select Define Views, this field
does not show in any of the field options. Hope you can make
heads-or-tails of it. Thanks.

Dick

Sue,

To answer your other question, this field "PalmPilot Category" is
visible in Contacts and Tasks, as well, and is displayed as a user
defined property. It appears after doing a HotSync with my PalmPilot.

No doubt the custom property was added with CDO, Redemption, or Extended
MAPI, which can do things with Outlook items that the Outlook object model
can't. You would have to use one of those APIs to access the property as
well. See http://www.cdolive.com/cdo10.htm for a basic primer on MAPI
properties.
