Ken, Thanks for your diligence. In All Fields, it is listed in both the
item and the folder. I used the control toolbox to create a combobox.
I have renamed the control as cbobxState and labeled the value as
strStateValue to make it easier to differentiate. The Type = Text,
Format = Text, List type = Dropdown, Property to use = Value.
Since the exchange mailbox will not be open when messages are arriving,
I need the rule run on the server side without any user input. The
problem is that when I choose "selected properties of documents or
forms" it says it has to be a client-only rule and will run when outlook
is running. That is the reason I even went to thinking about a public
folder in the first place. The action of applying a rule to this field
seems to be the problem in trying to forward this message or redirecting
to another recipient.
Thoughts?

In All Fields is that property listed as being in the item or in the
folder
or both?
Are you using a standard user property or textbox to capture the
selected
value of the drop-down? I believe that's needed to get what you want to
work.
