Error when creating 247 appointments in exchange mailbox

[Peter Marchert]

Hello,

I try to create hundreds of appointments in the calendar with a link
to a contact.

This works without problems on pst stores. With exchange mailboxes it
works too in OL 2003 but in 2002 on the 247th item the following error
occurs:

run time error -284147707 (ef104005)
error when executing the operation

This message is translated from German because I have no English 2002.
The numbers are different from time to time. In the compiled add-in I
get the message "-2147467259: Automation Error Unknown Error".

Here is the used code:

Sub Test()
Call CreateAppointments(1, 230)
Call CreateAppointments(231, 500)
End Sub

Sub CreateAppointments(ByVal lngFrom As Long, ByVal lngTo As Long)

Dim objCalendar As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objContacts As Outlook.Items

Dim objApp As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim lngIndex As Long

Set objContacts =
Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Items
Set objCalendar =
Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)

For lngIndex = lngFrom To lngTo
Set objApp = objCalendar.Items.Add
With objApp
.ReminderSet = False
.Subject = objContacts(lngIndex).Subject
Call .Links.Add(objContacts(lngIndex))
.Save
End With
Next

End Sub

The error occurs on the line "Call .Links.Add(objContacts(lngIndex))"
and if I press after the error message F5 the code will run for the
next 246 items and will stop then again. Without the Link.Add method
the code runs without any errors.

Maybe this is an Outlook bug, but may be some one knows a workarround.

Thanks for any help and/or suggestions.

Peter

Peter, do you know for sure that there's no Distlist in the contacts folder?
Then I'd use a variable for the ContactItem because accessing objContacts(i)
twice creates two references.

You are running out of 255 open messages limit imposed by Exchange in the
online mode.
Do not use multiple dot notation (to avoid implicit variables created by the
compiler) and immediately release all COM objects after using them:

set objItems = objCalendar.Items
For lngIndex = lngFrom To lngTo
Set objApp = objItems .Add
With objApp
.ReminderSet = False
.Subject = objContacts(lngIndex).Subject
Call .Links.Add(objContacts(lngIndex))
.Save
End With
Set objApp = Nothing
Next

Moin, Michael,

thanks for your assistance. The used contact folder does not contain
distlists only testing contacts.

Thanks for your reply, Dmitry.

I change my code to:

Sub CreateAppointments(ByVal lngFrom As Long, ByVal lngTo As Long)

Dim objAppointments As Outlook.Items
Dim objContacts As Outlook.Items
Dim objApp As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim lngIndex As Long

Set objContacts =
Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Items
Set objAppointments =
Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar).Items

For lngIndex = lngFrom To lngTo
Set objApp = objAppointments.Add
With objApp
.ReminderSet = False
.Subject = objContacts(lngIndex).Subject
Call .Links.Add(objContacts(lngIndex))
.Save
End With
Set objApp = Nothing
Next

End Sub

But that makes no difference. What else could be the problem? Please
remember that the code works without the line
"Call .Links.Add(objContacts(lngIndex))". Can it even be the 255 items
problem?

Peter

 

[Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]]

Try explicitly returning objContacts(lngIndex) so you can explicitly release it:

Set objContact = objContacts(lngIndex)
.Subject = objContact
Call .Links.Add(objContact)
Set objContact = Nothing

 

[Peter Marchert]

Thanks Sue,

I tried it hopefully but it does not solve the problem:

Sub CreateAppointments(ByVal lngFrom As Long, ByVal lngTo As Long)

Dim objAppointments As Outlook.Items
Dim objContacts As Outlook.Items
Dim objContact As Outlook.ContactItem
Dim objApp As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim lngIndex As Long

Set objContacts =
Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Items
Set objAppointments =
Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar).Items

For lngIndex = lngFrom To lngTo
Set objContact = objContacts(lngIndex)
Set objApp = objAppointments.Add
With objApp
.ReminderSet = False
.Start = objContact.Birthday
.Subject = objContact.Subject
Call .Links.Add(objContact)
.Save
End With
Set objApp = Nothing
Set objContact = Nothing
Next

End Sub

I´m testing in virtual machines - may be this could be a problem? Does
the code runs on your machine (OL 2002/Exchange 2003)?

Here some code to create testing contacts:

Sub CreateContacts()

Dim objFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objContact As Outlook.ContactItem
Dim lngItem As Long

Set objFolder = Outlook.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder

For lngItem = 1 To 500

Set objContact = Outlook.CreateItem(olContactItem)

With objContact
.FirstName = "Test"
.LastName = lngItem
.Save
End With

Set objContact = Nothing

Next

Set objFolder = Nothing

End Sub

You are still using multiple dot notation (.Links.Add)
What happens if you comment out that line?

If the line is commented out the code works fine. I tried this one:

Dim objAppointments As Outlook.Items
Dim objContacts As Outlook.Items
Dim objContact As Outlook.ContactItem

Call colLinks.Add(objContact)

End With
Set colLinks = Nothing
Set objApp = Nothing
Set objContact = Nothing
Next

End Sub

But the error comes back.

[Dmitry Streblechenko]

Links.Add returns a Link object, which your code does not reference and
hence cannot release:

set Link = .Links.Add ...
set Link = Nothing

Thank you Dmitry.

The code grows and grows:

Dim objApp As Outlook.AppointmentItem

Set objLink = colLinks.Add(objContact)
.Save
End With
Set objLink = Nothing
Set colLinks = Nothing
Set objApp = Nothing
Set objContact = Nothing
Next

End Sub

But the error still remains. Any other ideas?

And if you call the method in different block sizes, say, 100 or less, does
always the same one item cause the error? What happens then if you delete or
skip that one item?

Hello Michael,

the items are all ok and nearly the same. They are called "Test 1",
"Test 2" and so on.

If I call the same procedure with a stop:

Sub Test()
Call CreateAppointments(1, 230)
Stop
Call CreateAppointments(231, 400)
End Sub

and then go on with F5 all is ok.

Found out something more:

OL 2000 / Ex 2003 same result

OL 2003 (cache mode) / Ex 2003 works

Must be a problem on the server. I installed the Windows 2003 Server
(SP2) with Exchange 2003 (SP? - I think I installed SP2, but I cannot
find any information about) on a virtual pc not a virtual server (its
only a testing system). Can anybody reproduce the error or confirm

It is not a server problem, it is a server *feature* - see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830829
So the code works fine if you comment out the

Set objLink = colLinks.Add(objContact)

line, rigth?

Yes, that is the problem. I increased the values for "objtMessage" to
350 and now the error occurs on the 347th item.

What happens if you move the "with" block to a separate sub (that would
release all internal variables when the sub exits):

sub AddAppointment(objContact)
Set objApp = objAppointments.Add
Set colLinks = objApp.Links
With objApp
.ReminderSet = False
.Subject = objContact.Subject
Set objLink = colLinks.Add(objContact)

[Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]]

Peter, see if this is any better:

Public objContacts As Outlook.Items
Public objContact As Outlook.ContactItem

Public objAppointments As Outlook.Items

Public objApp As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Public colLinks As Outlook.Links
Public objLink As Outlook.Link

Sub Test()
Dim oNS As Outlook.NameSpace

Set oNS = Outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")

Set objContacts = _
oNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Items

Set objAppointments = _
oNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar).Items

Call CreateAppointments(1, 230)
Call CreateAppointments(231, 400)

Set objContacts = Nothing
Set objContact = Nothing

Set objAppointments = Nothing

Set objApp = Nothing
Set colLinks = Nothing
Set objLink = Nothing
End Sub

Sub CreateAppointments(ByVal lngFrom As Long, ByVal lngTo As Long)
Dim lngIndex As Long

For lngIndex = lngFrom To lngTo
Set objContact = objContacts.Item(lngIndex)
Call AddAppointment(objContact)
Set objContact = Nothing
Next
End Sub

Sub AddAppointment(ByVal objContact As Outlook.ContactItem)
Set objApp = objAppointments.Add
Set colLinks = objApp.Links

With objApp
.ReminderSet = False
.Subject = objContact.Subject
Set objLink = colLinks.Add(objContact)
.Save
End With

Set objLink = Nothing
Set colLinks = Nothing
Set objApp = Nothing
End Sub

Thanks for your idea, Ken.

I`m sorry, but there is no change.
