PR_CREATOR_NAME and PR_LAST_MODIFIER_NAME not available

[Gabi Fruhner]

Hi,

can anyone tell me, why CDOProps PR_CREATOR_NAME and PR_LAST_MODIFIER_NAME
are not available / not stored.
Get only MAPI_E_NOT FOUND errors, OutlookSpy doesn't show them and they are
not listed in CDOPropTags.
What's the reason.

WinXP
OL2000 / 2002
CDO 1.21

Thanks

Gabi

It is up to the store providet which properties to expose. Are you using PST
or Exchange?
Exchange knows who the current user is, PST on the other hand has no idea.

Thanks Dmitry,

it's PST.

But is it possible to create a userfield and save the message, perhaps in
the way of the example on
http://www.mapilab.com/articles/vb_outlook_security_4.html
with HrSetOneProp(objItem.MAPIOBJECT, ...) ??? ... and save the message
WITHOUT FIRING Outlook Event ?

Yes, you can set a custom property on a message. I am not sure what you mean
by "WITHOUT FIRING Outlook Event".

Setting a custom property for the CUSTOM_LAST_MODIFIER is not a problem.
But message must be saved after setting and then Outlook ItemChange Event
should not fire at this action.
I want to set this property at ItemChange Event and when I set the property
here and save the message ItemChange Event will fire again and this would be
a never ending story.

You can use a global flag to indicate that the next call to ItemChange must
be ignored.
