URGENT - PR_LAST_MODIFIER_NAME

[Jason Smyth]

I have COM Addin that traps the adding or changing of appointments in
a user mailbox.

I need to know how to capture the last modifier of an item?

I know I can capture an Outlook item, convert it to a CDO item, and
retrieve the field: PR_LAST_MODIFIER_NAME. What I need to know is
this...

I will have scenario's where a user has delegate or ownership right to
other mailboxes other than their own. If the logged on user modifies
an item in another mailbox they have access to, what value should be
returned in PR_LAST_MODIFIER_NAME?

I would hope it is the logged on user, and not the mailbox user for
where the item actually resides? Does anybody know what
PR_LAST_MODIFIER_NAME returns in this scenario?

You should be able to test this for yourself. I did and found that the mailbox name is the one that's used, not the name of the person making the change. Sounds like you might want to add code to your add-in to store the current user's name somewhere in the item.
