Default Folder last modification date

Hi Ken,

I tried RDOSession but the oFolder.Fields(&H30080040) value is = Empty.
Then i tried to change the name of the contact default folder to make sure
the folder is really changed. Try again but oFolder.Fields(&H30080040) still
empty.

By the way, you commented that:

"use Application only in Outlook VBA, otherwise get Application object, then
get NameSpace."

Why Application only in Outlook VBA? I tried Application in VB6 Com Add-In
and it seems to work fine.

Thanks.

I'd probably use RDOSession myself:

Dim oSession As Redemption.RDOSession
Dim oFolder As Redemption.RDOFolder
Dim lastMod As Date

Set oSession = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
' use Application only in Outlook VBA, otherwise get Application object,
then get NameSpace.
oSession.MAPIOBJECT = Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT
Set oFolder = oSession.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
lastMod = oFolder.Fields(&H30080040)

Note that lastMod will be in UTC and not in local time. Use MAPIUtils to do
the conversion using the HrGMTToLocal() method.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the reply. I have checked the redemption website. The examples
showed is actually about the item in folder.

For example:

Dim utils, oItem, PrDate , Date
Set utils = CreateObject("Redemption.MAPIUtils")
Set oItem = Outlook.session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts) .Items(1)
'This is the line that point to contact item in contact folder
PrDate = &H30080040
Date= utils.HrGetOneProp(oItem.MAPIOBJECT, PrDate )
MsgBox Date

How about the folder last modification using Redemption.MAPIUtils? I am
getting it right?
