Thanks ... I thought there may be something internal I was missing. I'm
doing this through the NewInspector event Inspector.CurrentItem. Does that
sound right?

That's how you'd get the currently opened new item, yes.

Default Monitoring for changes

It is worth noting that all the events are *not* designed for any kind of
synchronization. The work best for the UI only and are subject to be dropped
under heavy loads. Needless to say yoru code must be running all the time.
If you need to build a reliable solution, your only option is to either use
the ICS (Incremental Change Synchronization) API with MAPI or rescan the
folder contents all the time instead of relying on the events.

Hi

[Using Outlook 2003 (SP2)]

I want to write a little program which monitors a particular public
journal and logs date, time, old/new value, who is making the change (and
potentially other information) each time an item changes. Is there
anything in the object model to help me or do I need to do most of it
myself.

Ideally, I'd like Outlook to tell me (by raising an event) just before an
item is edited so I can capture the various data I need.

Thanks

Simon
