Hi

I want to set specific right to a folder

Any should read write in Item by script in a form but without allowing to
these users to see the folder or the item using Outlook (outlook browser
the left Area ' I don't know how U call it in english)

because I want to put some information in the item that can be only modifyed
by my script and not manually

Is that possible ??

Tks

Outlook (or MAPI for that matter) doesn't know whether the item is being
accessed by your custom code or through the UI; the same security setting
will be applied; they only depend on who the current user is.
In cases like yours, hidden items is what Outlook itself and other
third-part apps are using: on the MAPI level, each folder has two contents
tables - one is the regular one and another one is hidden (look at a folder
with OutlookSpy - click IMAPIFolder, go to the "Associated Contents" table).
The hidden items are accessible through Extended MAPI (C++/Delphi only), CDO
1.21 (Folder.HiddenMessages collection) or Redemption (url below,
RDOFolder.HiddenItems collection).
Outlook 2007 provides access to the hidden folder items through the
MAPIFolder.GetStorage method.
