Long term IDs from PR_PARENT_ENTRYID adam[ at ]viratech.com 9/2/2006 9:08:45 PM The PR_PARENT_ENTRYID value of a mail item when using a MAPITable seems to be its short term ID. Is there a PR_LONGTERM_ENTRYID_FROM_TABLE equivalent for the parent entry ID? This problem only seems to be an issue for Exchange stores. Strangely, OutlookSpy shows a long term entry ID under PR_PARENT_ENTRYID for mail items. So I'm getting different values for PR_PARENT_ENTRYID from OutlookSpy and a MAPITable. For example, here is a PR_PARENT_ENTRYID from OutlookSpy: 00000000553D90F710ABF34FAF463CA7E9775B5401005CA9A01E1C105C44B3650616ED91E83A00000863EB0C0000 and here is the same property accessed via a MAPITable: EF000000553D90F710ABF34FAF463CA7E9775B5482210000. There also does not seem to be a property of the parent folder whose value is equal to the entry ID from the MAPITable. Is there any way that I can get the long term entry ID for a mail item via MAPITable? Any hints about what is going on? Thanks, Adam

By definition, all items in the table will have the same parent entry id, which you can retrieve from the parent folder; it will be just PR_ENTRYID Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) http://www.dimastr.com/ OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO and MAPI Developer Tool <adam[ at ]viratech.com> wrote in message news:1157231325.520751.319240[ at ]b28g2000cwb.googlegroups.com...
