Blackberry changing items in the background ... making save fail "marcus.lambert[ at ]gmail.com" <marcus.lambert[ at ]gmail.com> 2/21/2007 6:58:18 PM Hi I have a addin dll that I have built using VB6 ontop of outlook 2000 Basically the adding add a tool bar that looks up a field from a data base and sets it as a user property on the mail item. As part the setting of the userproperties I call Save. code snip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Set UserProp = objMailItem.UserProperties.Find("PrincipalFilerUserId") If UserProp Is Nothing Then Set UserProp = objMailItem.UserProperties.Add("PrincipalFilerUserId", olText) End If UserProp.Value = project.PrincipalFilerUserId If objMailItem.Sent Then objMailItem.Save End If ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am having problems though if my user is a blackberry users as it would seem that when a black berry sync (reconcile???) it also changes something under the hold and saves the mailitem. So if the user has the Item open while the blackberry process do it thing .. I cannot save as the item has changed. So my question is there a work around to force saving or a smart way to re-get the reference ? ( I've tried to GetItemFromID) I guess I need to know more about what blackberry is doing but this may not be the place for that. Thanks in advance m

If I compare (doing and IS ) the objects they are different so I am assuming that I have pickup the new one or haven't I ? is there a cache in exchange that give you the same item ? is so how do I release the first object completely ? I have tryed close etc. any insight would be greatful ! Marcus

If so set all your references to that item to null (Nothing) and that should release all your references to it after closing it. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm <marcus.lambert[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:1172577420.880620.7100[ at ]t69g2000cwt.googlegroups.com...

Re: Blackberry changing items in the background ... making save fail "marcus.lambert[ at ]gmail.com" <marcus.lambert[ at ]gmail.com> 2/28/2007 6:57:58 PM Ken Yes this is what I am have been trying to do, am doing a objMailItem.Close (olDiscard) Set objMailItem = Nothing Then re-getting Set objNewMailItem = g_olApp.GetNamespace("Mapi").GetItemFromID(stEntryId) and then trying to re apply my userproperties and trying to save again ... It still fails ... with the same error ? Marcus

Re: Blackberry changing items in the background ... making save fail "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 2/28/2007 7:41:48 PM Then something else is holding that item open or you have a reference you're not releasing. If the Blackberry software is holding the item open there's not much you can do about it. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm <marcus.lambert[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:1172689077.970259.271240[ at ]v33g2000cwv.googlegroups.com...
