.Find fails for .Outlook._Items

[S.Clark]

[I put this in .general, but was specifically requested to repost here.]

Using VB.NET:

The last line of this code errors out. Any clues?

oApp = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application()
oNS = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
oNS.Logon(Missing.Value, Missing.Value, True, True)

Dim oCt As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ContactItem
Dim objconts As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Items = targetFolder.Items

oCt = objconts.Find("[CustomerID]='" & strID & "'")

===

Error Info:
Message = "The operation failed"
ErrorCode = -142589947

Try

oCt = objconts.Find("[CustomerID]= " & Chr$(34) & strID &
Chr$(34))

Oops

Set oCt = etc

Your code looks correct. It looks to me like you may have 'Folder Visible'
permissions on the target folder but maybe not 'Read Items'.
