I sam confused - why would ItemChange fire if you did not change it again?
Or if a new change did not come from the EX server?

Thanks Dmitry for your response. Well basically once a user does a save I
capture the ItemChange event and log the item that was change to a local
db. Then when they click a button I try to sync to the contact up to a
server based on the values from the local db file. In addition to syncing
from outlok I also sync down from the server to outlook and save the item.
During the syncing I set a flag so anything that is saved will not trigged
the ItemChange event, but once my sync process is complete, I change the
flag to capture the next time someone modifies a contact. So the problem
is about 30 secs after my sync process is complete and the flag is reset,
Outlook syncs with exchange which causes the ItemChange event to fire and
me to resave the item as modified in my local b file which triggers the
whole process over again when nothing has really changed.
Does that make sense?

No, the cached Exchange provider provides no notification.
Why wouldn't you want to run your code? Does it matter whether a change
occured because the current user modified an item or because it got
modified on a different machine and the Exchange provider received the
notification and updated the local copy?

I am using the ItemChange event in my C# code to capture when an item is
saved and then do something with it. The problem is I do not want to do
this action when Exchange is syncing. Is there anyway to determine when
exchange is doing its auto-sync so i can not run the code?
Thanks so much
