Querying Outlook items

[Johnny E. Jensen]

Hey Group

I have made a routine that fetches some outlook appointments using the
Items.Find method. The Query looks like [Start] >= "01-02-2007 00:00" and
[Start] <= "06-02-2007 23:59"

I works just fine and with good performance.

Another routine i want tobuild is to fetch items from the Inbox and also
using the query method Find. But I'am not sure what the query field name is.
I've trying with the [ReceivedTime] >= "01-02-2007 12:00:00" and
[ReceivedTime] <= "06-02-2007 23:59:59"

The date format is in Danish, i'ev tryed with US format 2007/02/01 but i'll
get the error:
Type mismatch or the value "{date}" in the condition is not valid.

Can anyone help me here, I don't like the way of fetching all items within
the inbox folder, and then drill though to fetch items that meets the above
query for ReceivedTime. Not a good performance, and when keep in mind, after
the inbox i'll also have to get the sentbox ....


Kind regards

Try leaving off the seconds for any Find or Restrict.

For some properties where a time isn't shown you also leave off the hours
and minutes, such as Task.DueDate.
