How does the Find Method treat meetings marked as private? Does it ignore
them or retrieve non-confidential information like a start, end and free/busy status? Tx Tad |

Are you searching on your own items or those in another calendar? Those
properties will be available if they are your own Appointments, but you can only retrieve what you can see in the actual Appointment Item if they are marked private and you did not create it. -- Eric Legault - Outlook MVP, MCDBA, MCTS (SharePoint programming, etc.) Try Picture Attachments Wizard for Outlook: http://www.collaborativeinnovations.ca Blog: http://blogs.officezealot.com/legault/ "Tadwick" wrote: How does the Find Method treat meetings marked as private?

Eric,
Thanks for replying. It seems to me that the way that the OOM ignores private appointments for other calendars is flawed. Certainly you don't need to see the intimate details of the private appointment but on the other hand, you certainly do want to know that the appointment exists because it could reduce the available times to meet with that person. In Outlook 2003's calendar view you can see a placeholder for a private appointment in another person's calendar but you can't see the details. The Find method should work the same way. Right now, it appears to be too limited. What is even more interesting is that Redemption now has a GetActivitiesForTimeRange method that is similar to OOM Find except that it ignores the fact that appointments are private and retrieves all attributes anyway. While this may sound off alarm bells, at least you can limit what attributes are displayed by your code.

How exactly is it flawed? You can still use the Find method to get at
Appointments marked private. You can determine the date and time, but not the private details. -- Eric Legault - Outlook MVP, MCDBA, MCTS (SharePoint programming, etc.) Try Picture Attachments Wizard for Outlook: http://www.collaborativeinnovations.ca Blog: http://blogs.officezealot.com/legault/ "Tadwick" wrote: Eric, Thanks for replying.

When I use Find on another person's calendar folder their private items are
not in the items collection returned by this method. "Eric Legault [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: How exactly is it flawed? You can still use the Find method to get at Appointments marked private.

You're right - my bad - I was being lazy shame. However, I haven't
definitively been able to reproduce this yet because I'm not sure my filter is returning what it should and my test data is limiting me (my boss' calendar). I did notice that if I created a View on the Shared Calendar that private appointments were being excluded as well! That's odd - I need to do some more digging - I'll get back to you. -- Eric Legault - Outlook MVP, MCDBA, MCTS (SharePoint programming, etc.) Try Picture Attachments Wizard for Outlook: http://www.collaborativeinnovations.ca Blog: http://blogs.officezealot.com/legault/ "Tadwick" wrote: When I use Find on another person's calendar folder their private items are not in the items collection returned by this method.
