Outlook 2007 and Item.Close

[slbergh]

Has the issue with Item.Close been resolved yet? I have a custom form with a
button that saves and closes the form. In Outlook 2003, it works fine;
however, in 2007 it causes Outlook to crash. Before I migrate my users to
'07, I need to find a way around this issue.

This is the only code being used:
Sub cmdSaveClose_Click
Item.Close(0)
End Sub

Judging by the file versions, it looks like the hotfix described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935517/ may be in the public update described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933493/. If it turns out that it isn't, just call Microsoft to get the hotfix.

I recently raised this as a bug in Outlook 2007. Microsoft were very good at
confirming and tracking the issue with me. I have received a "pre Hotfix"
version of Outlook and the VB Script dll that fixes the problem. I expect it
will be wrapped into a real hotfix in the next few weeks.

BTW - this is not the "can't do some things in a Close event" issue - this
is a problem calling the Item.Close method anywhere in code.
