Maybe if I knew what Today(0) equated to I could use that if it was an exact
time such as Saturday, January 30, 12:00 AM.
Then I could use:
MileStone1UTC = Today(0+46800) AND MileStone1UTC
Today(0+46800+(24*60*60))
where 46800 is 13 hours in my case -- that is the UTC offset from local
time.

I am trying to figure out how to use the "undocumented" Today(S) function.
Basically I have about 10 search folders that make use of most of these:
%yesterday
%today
%tomorrow
%last7days
%next7days
%lastweek
%thisweek
%nextweek
%lastmonth
%thismonth
%nextmonth
So I am also hoping that these functions also allow for passing of a (S)
seconds parameter.
The reason I am hoping to do this is to pre-adjust my UTC DateTime field
"MileStone1UTC" so that it will be normalized into local date/time.
e.g.
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{00020329-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/MileStone1UTC"
= Today(46800)
e.g.
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{00020329-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/MileStone1UTC"
= Tomorrow(46800)
However it doesn't work. Anyone know what will here?

Outlook SQL DASL syntax - an update
Here's an update to my previous blog entry on Doing more with Outlook
filter and SQL DASL syntax.
I had some great feedback from my previous posting, there is obviously a
need for more information about how to "do stuff" with Outlook filters.
Special thanks to Patrick for a very useful message, which showed me how
to use dynamic dates in Outlook filter queries. Previously I thought this
was impossible! Patrick's trick (
) is to use the today(S) function with
a parameter in seconds (S). The parameter gives a positive or negative
offset from today and can be used to check the Due Date of tasks (or any
other date test you like).
Here is Patrick's example which he uses on the Tasks folder:
(
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/811c000b"=
0) AND
(NOT("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/81050040"
IS NULL)) AND
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/81050040"
= today(864000)))When applied to a task folder, this shows 'not
completed' tasks that have aDue Date set in the next 10 days from
today.This same technique should be useful for filtering on received date
(etc) onemail folders and others.-Snip end-
