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 |
Outlook View Control
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 "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... The OVC doesn't do searches like the Activities view does.

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?

Outlook View Control
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.
