| If you are using Outlook 2007 you can use the new PropertyAccessor object to
access those MAPI properties. The use of PropertyAccessor is covered in the
Help for the Object Browser in Outlook 2007.
If you are using an earlier version of Outlook there is no PropertyAccessor
or any other way of accessing those properties using the Outlook object
model. You have to use an alternate API.... |

| Is customPropFolder a valid Folder object? What does RegisterFolderHomepage.RegisterType do? It needs to return the URL string for the folder home page you want to show.
If you don't want to show the list of items in the folder at all, then don't use an Outlook View Control on your folder home page.

| You're using the Find/Restrict format for the search filter string, but AdvancedSearch requires the DASL syntax; see http://www.outlookcode.com/news.aspx?id=30.
Also, if you're searching only default folders, I don't think you need the full path in the scope string, so a string like this should work:
"'Sent Items','Inbox', 'Deleted Items'"

| Well, you said you were using Outlook 2003, so why are you using the Outlook

Office 2003.
If you must use the Outlook 2002 PIA then the Outlook object model won't
help you. You'd need to use an API such as CDO 1.21 (security prompts, not

| In Outlook 2007, you can do it with new SharingItem object. The Help toic on Namespace.CreateSharingItem should point you in the right direction.
I can't see why a solution that depends on an add-in being installed on each client machine would be considered more flexible than using something like PFDavAdmin or the equivalent in a custom script.

I use a date picker on a Windows Form I don't do anything special when
closing the form, I just use form.Close(). The date picker in VS has a
