Write event not firing in list view "Rick H" <rickh_1960[ at ]hotmail.com> 2/13/2007 2:40:09 PM I have created a addin that updates a sql DB with all info from the calendar, task and contacts.As changes are made in Outlook the are updated to the DB and as they are update in the DB the changes sent to Outlook (this is working fine). The problem is, I originally had only code on the write event of an item but in the list view of a folder changes made to an item is not firing the write event. So I'm now using SyncEnd() event and checking LastModificationTime against a date I store in the registry after each sync. Outlook 2002 and 2003, VB6 Public Sub mysync_SyncEnd() If ls_task_sync = "Y" Then TaskDateCheck End If If ls_cal_sync = "Y" Then CalendarDateCheck End If If ls_con_sync = "Y" Then ContactDateCheck End If End Sub 'Some code from CalendarDateCheck: ls_mod_time = sh.RegRead(key & "outlook_contacts_last_modify") ls_find = "[LastModificationTime] > '" & Format(ls_mod_time, "ddddd h:nn AMPM") & "'" Set SafeItems = myContacts.Find(ls_find) 'Find first Appointment Dim ade Do While Not (SafeItems Is Nothing) 'Process data for items found ... This seemed to be working BUT........... Now the problem is that the EndSync event isn't firing consistently. If the user hits F9 it works everytime. But on the timed sync setup in Outlook it is not ever getting to the syncend event. I setup the sync to include the folders I'm syncing with. Hope that makes sense. My question, is there an event or anyway to make sure I capture any item changed in Outlook.Even when items are changed using ActiveSync. Any help would be appreciated Thanks, RickH

I put these events back in as they do seem to be more consistant then ItemWrite. Thanks, Rick
