When trying to set the AllDayEvent to 0, Outlook throws this exception:

Exception 0xc6204005 from Microsoft Office Outlook
Error Desc: You don't have the permission to move this item.

They are using a local .pst file, so they should have permission. The
error always seems to happen on the same specific event. Any ideas?

Did you test the IsRecurring property of the item in question? (Or ask the
user if it is recurring?)

Hi Dmitry,

I found a class '_com_error', which will capture information thrown
by Outlook. It has both an error number and a description.

I've added this into my catch block, and hopefully this will give more
information on what the problem is. (I have to wait for my customer who
is
experiencing this problem, I can't reproduce it here...)
I'll post the results once I get them.

That error message will include the phrase, "invalid property
assignment."

Assigning the AllDayEvent property will throw an error if a recurrence
pattern has been defined for the AppointmentItem, you can test the
IsRecurring property to check for this. (The same applies to the Start
and End properties, assignments to them are invalid if the item is
recurring.)

Correspondingly, the AllDayEvent flag is ignored for recurring items, the
duration is set for 24 hours, but the event starts (according to Outlook)
at midnight in the system-configured time zone, when recurrence is
defined. Example: while living on the east coast, you create a recurrent
event for your wife's birthday; you then move to the west coast, and
change your system's time zone accordingly; the event for your wife's
birthday now starts at 9:00 PM on the day prior.

Conversely, a non-recurring item flagged as as AllDayEvent starts at
midnight in the system's time zone, no matter what that time zone is, and
it does not change if the timezone changes.

(Technically, the underlying value [stored as UTC] does not change for
recurrent items, it's just the displayed value that adjusts. For
non-recurring AllDayEvents, Outlook *might* actually change the
underlying UTC value to adjust it to display as midnight in the new time
zone, but if it does, it does so without changing LastModificationTime.
I'd have to go underneath OOM, and read the value [before and after
changing time zones] using Redemption to know for sure... too lazy to do
that at the moment.) :-)


-Mark



Thanks,
Mark

Hi Dmitry,

I don't log any exception details in the catch block. Honestly, I'm
not
sure how, but I can probably research it and figure out how. What sort
of
details are available that would be helpful for logging in the catch
block? Do you know if there is some error message or code set somewhere
when Outlook throws an exception?

It gets raised immediately. I only have this one line of code in the
try
block.

I'm pretty sure the olAppt is valid and an appointment item. I'm
enumerating through items in the calendar folder. I successfully use
it
right before this to set other properties like Body and Location.


Thanks,
Mark

Do you log the exception details in your catch() block? Does the error
get raised immediately or only after you process a few items? Where
does
olAppt come from? Are you sure it is an AppointmentItem object and not
something else?

Hi Dmitry,

I don't see any error message... I have this in a try/catch block
and
Outlook throws an exception when I try and set AllDayEvent. My code
looks like this:

try
{
olAppt-AllDayEvent = 0;
}
catch(...)
{
// do some error logging...
}

I'm writing my add-in in C++. Is there some way I can get some sort
of
error message from Outlook? I really have no indication of 'why' it
is
failing, I just know where it fails.


Thanks,
Mark

I have an add-in that is modifying the properties of a calendar
event.
When it gets he

olAppt-AllDayEvent = 0;

Outlook is throwing an exception. This code works fine on most
events, but on some events this will fail. Any ideas why this
would
fail? Is there some other property I need to make sure to set
first
or something?

Thanks,
Mark
