How to find out wether Echange is disconnected with outlook or not

[Stop method of Sync object is not workin]

Hi All,

I want to check programatically wether Exchange server is disconnected with
Outlook or not.If i am using offline property of Namespace object it is
working only if user is working offline its not working if user is
disconnected from exchange server.

Please suggest me how can I find out Exchange is disconnected or not with
outlook.

Thanks in advance.

Please post the Outlook versions you are supporting when you post.

If your Outlook version supports it you can use
NameSpace.ExchangeConnectionMode. Use the Object Browser to see what return
values are possible.

So that answers your question. If the session was disconnected from Exchange
it would return olCachedDisconnected or olDisconnected.

Hi Ken

That property showing olCachedconnected even it is disconnected from
Exchange, my Outlook window is showing as disconnected but
NameSpace.ExchangeConnectionMode is showed as Connected.

Note: especially if exchange information store is stopped it is happening.

Please help to resolve this problem

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if that property is only checked on startup, or with
send/receives or at intervals. You'll have to do some experimentation to
check that out. If it's during a send/receive you can initiate one on
SyncObjects.Item(1) and then get the property. Otherwise you'd have to see
if an alternate API such as Redemption is more accurate or if that's the
best you can do.
