Hi NG,
I´ve added some buttons to the appointment form. Some transactions are done... afterwards I ould like to see which items are allready 'sent'. I would like to do this with the standard like 'holiday', 'privat', 'important' so on. How could I change this? In German Outlook the field is called 'Beschriftung'.


Thanks for help,
Bernd

Hi Bernd.

There is not a corresponding property in the Outlook Object Model to change the 'Label' field in an appointment item. However you can use Extended MAPI functions to change it. You will have to change the 0x8088 property tag of an appointment item.

Sergey - why can you not provide more assistance than simply to change a property tag? Please understand most of us are not focused in Outlook - so more assistance like the actual function would be more usefull. Here you go Bernd.

Do a good search for Redemption - it is an ok control helping you with Outlook.
