Analysing outlook calender

[Dave]

Hi,

I've written some code that puts information from excel into an Outlook
calender item.

One idea I have is to place a unique id in one of the outlook fields
and use this as a field that I can search and locate items and see if
they have changed from the information that is in excel. e.g. if the
date has changed for example.

Is this possible and how do I go about doing it.

Thanks
David

David:

One option would be to create a custom property for the calendar item to
store the unique id. The following KB article shows how to create such a
property for a contact item. You can use the same approach for a calendar
item.

Once the unique id property is created and assigned a value, you can
retrieve its value by either using the Find method of the UserProperties
collection, or by using the AdvancedSearch method of the Application object.
You can find more information on the AdvancedSearch method here:
