I'm use to doing this via VB and CDO but I can't seem to find a simple
way in VBScript from a form itself. I have a EntryID for an Item and
wish to find the corresponding Item. I have setup my collection down to
the item level and can use a loop to find and setup the item but it's
slow. On the VB side you can use the
GetMessage(ID,ParentFolderSessionID) command from the Connection to go
directly to an Item. Is there an equivalent in the Form design mode
using VBScript?

When I use the Folder.Find() command it tells me that the EntryID is not
Valid Along with just ID like I can use via CDO. Is it possibly labeled
something different?

Any help would be appreciated.

Why not use the Namespace.GetItemFromID method?

Sorry, I'm new and trying to learn the methods. I will research it. Do
you mind giving me a quick example or code snipit? Thanks Sue

The first thing you should research is Sue's site --
http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx

The second thing to look at is www.Slipstick.com ; lots of examples
there also. Then you might look at
http://www.outlookbythesound.com/SBS...et_outlook.htm . Each
of those blossoms in the hands of Devi have a URL to an Outlook or other
important resource. The one by the left ear, your left, not Devi's,
will point you to the list of known MVP websites. You can get lost once
you get there.

This is where I am on this. I have it working but had to find my public
root ID using VB and then set it up as a string. Is there a way to find
it using the VBScript? Here is my code snipit.

Set objNameSpace = Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI")

test =
"0000000038A1BB1005E5101AA1BB08002B2A56C20000454D5 34D44422E444C4C0000000

6004D0043004F002E006C006F00630061006C0000000000"

^ My Public Root ID ^

Set Message = objNameSpace.GetItemFromID( ItemID,Test)

By "public root ID," do you mean the StoreID for the Public Folders
hierarchy? You can get that programmatically by walking the folder hierarchy
from Application.Session.Folders down into the Public Folders hierarchy and
getting the StoreID from the first folder under Public Folders\All Folders.
