I am trying to develop a synchronization app using Access and Outlook. I
have two .pst files in different locations that I need to synch the contacts
with each other. I am going several different directions on this. I can get
the Access app to import the contacts from each different .pst and then
compare the files to find the newest record to sync on. But, when I edit the
record in Outlook using VBA, it changes the "LastModificationTime" property
and therefore messes with the synch for the next time. I realize the
"LastModificationTime" is read only and it causing me headaches. Any ideas
for this problem or any ideas for synching the files.

Thanks,
 
Exellent, thanks so much for the note. I can track the last modified time
using a UserProperty field , but what is the best way to maintain the The
LastSyncTime field?

Thanks,
 
Hi Steve,

forget the UserProperty. I´ve considered it. Where is the problem with
the LastModificationTime? A newer value indicates the most current
recordset.

If your app updates a ContactItem then these item is the most current
one and it gets the newest LastModificationTime automatically. It
doesn´t matter if the last changes are made by code or the user.

For comparing two records you wouldn´t need the LastModificationTime
only, of course, but also need to compare each field.
