Missing updates
 

Hi
I have some code that copies an appointment from one calendar to a public
calendar and it works fine when I’m using 2002. When I’m using 2003 and have
disabled macros, it also works fine but if I enable my macro I will miss
about 5 % of all updates in my own calendar and about 10 % in the public
calendar. I’m not running my macro in a class module. Could that be the
reason for missing updates? If so, how much of the macro should be in the
class module?

Thanks.

Hi
When I read my post, I realized it wasn't easy to understand. If I create an
new appointment and save it, outlook works fine. If I open my appointment,
change the start- or end-time, wait a few seconds and then close, it works
fine. But if I change my appointment and close it as fast as I can, then
Outlook will not fire my macro in about 5% of all attempts! Please advise.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If this is in Outlook VBA use the intrinsic Application object and don't set
up a new Outlook.Application object.

Macros are public Subs in code modules that have no input arguments.

Do you miss things when a lot of items are deleted at one time? ItemAdd,
ItemRemove and ItemChange only will fire if fewer than 16 items are
added/removed/changed at one time. That's a MAPI limitation that Outlook
code inherits.

If your macro takes a lot of time when it runs then it is conceivable that
you could be missing some events.

Hi Ken
Thanks for your answer.

I have removed “Dim myOlapp As New Outlook.Application� and replaced myOlApp
with Application throughout. OK? The problem is still there.

I’m missing things when I click an appointment in my calendar, then move the
start- or end-time and then click beside the appointment to save it. If the
time between moving and clicking is less than 2 – 3 seconds, the ChangeItem
event will not fire in about 5% of all attempts.
I think only one item is changed at one time and none of my macros are
running when the event should fire.

I have used a date in the past for testing and I get “This appointment
occurs in the past� in the bottom of the calendar. I think, but can’t prove
it, that if I save my appointment during the time outlook is writing in the
bottom of the calendar, then I will miss things?!?

Using Application wouldn't solve a problem of missing events, it just uses
the trusted Application object and is a good practice for all Outlook VBA
code.

You should not miss events when Outlook is updating the status bar and
waiting for a time between making a change and saving it should also not be
a factor. I'd probably comment out all my macro code and just write a debug
statement using Debug.Print to make sure the event handler was being called
first. Then after that got running I'd start in on why sometimes the event
was missed.

Hi Ken

I did as you said. When all my macro is comment out, I get debug prints as
wanted. I can see I’m doing some mistake when moving an item around. I want
to copy the item which is argument to ItemChange to the public folder, then
change some objects and save the appointment in the public folder but I can’t
figure out how to do. My copy stores in my local folder which means I get
another ItemAdd event. Please HELP.

The Item.Copy function will always copy the item to the source folder of the
item. You can set up a flag that's set when you copy the item so you ignore
the next change event.

If you're using a lower level API such as CDO 1.21 or Redemption you can use
Message.CopyTo (CDO) or Safe*Item.CopyTo or RDOMail.CopyTo (both from
Redemption) to avoid the copy to the source folder.

Of course you can trap an error in code. Just use an error handler or set On
Error Resume Next and test the Err object after every operation that might
throw an error. If in doubt clear the Err object before performing the
operation so you know it's clear before you start.

Thanks for your answer.

I have added some tests and debug.prints but the main problem remains.

If I open an appointment, change the end-time and click "Save and close"
everything works fine. Always.

If I open the appointment by clicking the appointment, then drag the
end-time and click beside to close, then the ItemChange event will not fire
every second occasion. I have never seen two consecutive updates missing.

If I open the appointment after a missing update, the correct end-time shows
up. As I can see, the only missing thing is: the Itemchange event will not
fire!

Any thoughts about what needs to be done here?

"Hi
I have comment out the statement "On Error Resume Next" and added a
statement If Item.Class = olAppointment Then" do the stuff . It works fine
the first time and Debug.Print "ItemChange Item = " & Item - "ItemChange
Item = Test" but when the macro runs for the 2'nd time I get an run-time
error '-2147221233 (800401f)':Automation error. I think I have to do a
better
check of the Item object before I use it but how? I think the appointment
that fires the event is moved to the public folder during the 1'st run of
the
macro and thats why I get problems. Is it possible to trap a error with
code?
If yes, how do I do?
Thanks / boh
