Outlook View Control
 
Hello,

I added an Outlook View Control (OVC) to a form so that I can make my own
view of items much the same way the Activities Tab works in a Contact Form.

It works, but here are 2 things that I'm trying to figure out:

1- I want the OVC to bring in items as it finds them the same way the
Activities Tab works. Right now, it doesn't show anything until it's found
all the items and it's very slow. (I'm using the Restriction command to
filter the items I need)

2- How can I make the OVC look at multiple folders?

Thanks very much for your help,
Joel

The OVC doesn't do searches like the Activities view does. It works more like the filter that you apply to a folder. As a result, neither of your ideas is possible.

Thank you Sue.

My goal is to see multiple items in multiple folders in one single view. My
form is in the public area and for example, I need to see all e-mails that
exist in multiple Exchange users Mailboxes.

Is this not possible? Any ideas to get me started?

Thanks again Sue,
Joel

You can't use the OVC for that. You'd need to write code to fill say, a flexgrid control, with the data from each folder.

Thanks Sue.

When I tried to add the "Grid Control", it told me "The control could not be
created bcause it is not properly licensed". What's that about? I haven't
seen that before?

Thanks again,
Joel

I don't know what "grid control" you might have been adding. It sounds, though, like you don't have a full copy of VB6 that would give you a developer-licensed control. YOu can Google for more information that particular error message.
