Default Moving a Custom Form from folder to folder in Outlook 2007

It's moving a custom form item inside the Close event that's a no-no.

You can see easily if it's a one-off by comparing the values of the Size and MessageClass properties with those of a custom form item moved manually.

You got it! Lol.
When I move the item it moves normally and all the fields are filled in.
However I'm unsure if it's a one-off form that gets created or not.

I tried deleting the user-defined fields in the folder remade them with no
success.

Is what I'm doing unheard of? Does no one else programmatically move items
from folder to folder? If so how do they do it?

So you're trying to sneak around the limitation against calling Move inside the Close event handler (documented at http://outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=59)?

I can't explain why the moved item would be missing data in a custom field. Do you see the same behavior if you move the item manually? What happens if you delete that field from the folder's User-defined Fields and then add it again. (This will not affect any data if you do it at the folder level.)

Function Item_Close()

If MoveQuoted = 1 Then
Set oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set oName = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oFolder = Item.Parent

If oFolder.EntryID =
"000000001A447390AA6611CD9BC800AA002FC45A0300D27A6 408BFB611469494C39DB2EE" &
_
"75A7000000096E430000" Then
Set oFolder = oName.Folders.Item("Public Folders").Folders.Item("All
Public
Folders").Folders.Item("Procurement").Folders.Item ("Calgary")
Set oFolder2 = oName.Folders.Item("Public Folders").Folders.Item("All
Public
Folders").Folders.Item("Procurement").Folders.Item ("Calgary").Folders.
Item("Quoted")
Set oTask = oName.GetItemFromID(Item.EntryID)
oTask.Close(0)
oTask.Move oFolder2
End If

Set oFolder = Nothing
Set oFolder2 = Nothing
Set oName = Nothing
Set oApp = Nothing

End If
End Function

My form is published to each of the public folders. It's published with the
message class "Base", then it gets moved to the next folder as "Quoted".
When copied it appears fine, however none of the user defined fields are
populated. It does however copy stuff like Subject and Due Date. So both in
the listing and viewing the item user defined fields are null.
I checked the "user-defined fields in this folder" and CompanyName is in
there however it appears blank when copied.
