Outlook2002 vbscript - userproperty

M

mcgheekster

Can anyone suggest how to check whether a specific UserProperty has
been created in the tasks folder in Outlook 2002 using vbscript?

I don't need to test if there is any data stored in this userproperty
just whether it's been created. The UserProperty will be added via the
New... button in Field Chooser. I need my script to check if the user
has created this UserProperty or not.

Thanks in advance.

Outlook 2007 is the first version with the ability to check the folder-defined fields list programmatically. In earlier versions, you'd have to use CDO 1.21 to hack a binary property in a hidden message. I don't know of any code sample that has figured out how to do that.
