Hmmm.. I do not see that secondd event in the cached mode...
I guess you could store a hash made out of the values that you care about
(e.g .Email1Address + FileAs + ...) - if the hash is still the same, do
nothing.

Thanks Dmitry, so what happens is I save the contact in the code,
ItemChange fires, of course, but b/c my flag is set, I do not resave it
again to my local db. But then it seems b/c I just saved the Contact about
30 seconds later the ItemChange event fires b/c it seems that Exchange is
doing the synchronization.
Does this make sense?

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
