The code below incorporates a workaround to to what the title of this
post says. The workaround is suggested in, "http://www.dimastr.com/
redemption/faq.htm#15". rMessage is always nothing after 'reopen the
same message as Redemption.MessageItem is exectuted even though it
seems to have a strEntryID. Is this more likely a problem with the
Utils object or the saved message?

Thanks

Dim strEntryID As String, Utils, rMessage, mySentOn As Date
Set Utils = CreateObject("Redemption.MAPIUtils")
....
sItem.Import fullpath, 3 'olMSG, olRFC822
and olTNEF formats are supported
' the following code added to get correct SentOn date
' http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/faq.htm#15
'MsgBox (sItem.Subject & ", " & sItem.entryID)
sItem.Save 'Save the OOM
object just to make sure EntryID is available
strEntryID = sItem.entryID 'remember the
entry id
mySentOn = #11/11/2007#
Set rMessage = Utils.GetItemFromID(strEntryID) 'reopen the
same message as Redemption.MessageItem
If Not rMessage Is Nothing Then
MsgBox (rMessage.Subject & " --- found")
'rMessage.Import fullpath, 1024
rMessage.Import fullpath, 3
rMessage.Save
mySentOn = rMessage.SentOn
Else
' always takes this path
MsgBox (sItem.Subject & " --- missing")
End If
' end of kludge
 
When using the MAPIUtils object from Redemption you should be setting the
MAPIUtils.MAPIOBJECT property to the NameSpace.MAPIOBJECT (for Outlook 2002
and later) before attempting to use MAPIUtils so Redemption and Outlook are
using the same MAPI session.

The same goes for any Safe*Item, RDOSession, etc. objects. All should have
their MAPIOBJECT properties set where required before you work with the
objects.
