question on Item Parent...(?)

[Rafael]

All,

I'm not sure if this is what is called but here it goes: I receive an email
with a vCard attached to it. I open the vCard and I run a VBA script that
takes the open Item's email and tries to find it on a PF that the user must
select. If the item's email is found the information on the current vCard
if copied (all the fields) to the item found. If the item is not found, the
vCard is copied to the folder selected by the user. The original vCard is
closed after the search and copy are performed.

What I want to do now is modify the subject of the email item that the
attachment came in using the same script.

I think I saw somewhere a function to get the 'Parent Item' or the email
where the vCard came from. I just don't remember if this even exists.

Thanks,

Rafael

The Parent property refers to the folder that an item is saved in. It does
not apply to a the item that a file may be attached to. The current item
would be Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection(1) or
Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem, depending on whether you opened the
vCard from the folder view or an open email message.
