Redemption MAPITable Filter

[jack]

I am attempting to create a filtered MAPITable using a custom field in the filter.

I can get this to work fine on a single machine, however moving the code to another machine fails because the custom field has a different property tag value.

I have a custom contact form on my dev machine (Outlook 2000) that has a custom field comment with a tag of 0x83F4001E, yet on my test Outlook 2003 machine I cannot fine that tag. Other tags that exist on both machines have different values for the tags.

Is there a way to consistently filter MAPITables using custom fields?

The tag would be different for any different InfoStore. You need to get it
on the fly for the folder you are interested in. Add a dummy item to that
folder or use an existing one.

I use a Redemption.MessageItem and its GetIDsFromNames method with the name
of my custom field and the MAPI_NAMED_PROP constant.

Const MAPI_NAMED_PROP = "{00020329-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
lngMyProp = rdmMessage.GetIDsFromNames(MAPI_NAMED_PROP, _
"STSStoreID") Or &H1E 'for a string property

Const MAPI_REMINDER_PROPSET = "{00062008-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
lngMyProp = rdmMessage.GetIDsFromNames(MAPI_NAMED_PROP, _
&H8503) Or &HB 'for a Boolean property

And so on
