We're using VB6 code similar to the following to copy an Outlook item to a
folder:

Set myItem = myolApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set myCopiedItem = myItem.Copy
myCopiedItem.Move myNewFolder

Is there any way to get the EntryID of the myCopiedItem object in
myNewFolder without having to close myCopiedItem, then iterate through all
of the items in myNewFolder until we find it? We've tried saving
myCopiedItem (gives same EntryID before and after Save, but then later
changes the EntryID after closing).

Thanks for any feedback!

Dan

Try:

Set myMovedItem = myCopiedItem.Move(myNewFolder)
MsgBox myMOvedItem.EntryID

Move is a function, not a sub:

set myCopiedItem = myCopiedItem.Move(myNewFolder)
