I am adding a user property to appointments, is there way form me to find a specific appointment based on the user property, similar to : 

 myAppointment = CType(namespace_.GetItemFromID(myOutlookID), Outlook.AppointmentItem)

Hello Tom,

This is possible if you use OutlookApp.AdvancedSearch() on a folder containing that item AND you add the UserProperty to the folder, that is when adding the user property you call myAppointment.UserProperties.Add(name, type, TRUE [, whatever]) - pay attention to the third parameter, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff867389%28v=office.15%29.aspx.

On how to use AdvancedSearch, see Advanced search in Outlook programmatically: C#, VB.NET

On how to construct the filter string, see these pages:
- Filtering a Custom Field
- Items.Restrict Method (Outlook)
