Modified date of Outlook notes folder

[may1hem]

My application loads over a thousand notes (from an Outlook notes folder) into memory each time it runs, which is slow. What I want to do is load the notes into memory once and then each time I use the application it should check the last modified date/time of the folder to see if anything has changed in the folder since the application was last run. If something has changed then it should spend the time to re-load the notes into memory.

I've searched through the object browser but the folder object doesn't have a date modified property. How can I find the last modified date/time of a notes folder in Outlook 2007?

Thanks,
May

may1hem,
Try looking at the [tt]Restrict[/tt] method. You should be able to use it to isolate any notes that have been updated since the Last Load time.

  ...
  strFilter = "[LastModificationTime] > " & Format$([i]Last Load time[/i], "'m/d/yyyy'")

  Set objFolder = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderNotes)
  Set objRestrictedItems = objFolder.Items.Restrict(strFilter)
  For Each objNoteItem In objRestrictedItems
    'You can reload the details here
  Next objNoteItem
  ...

Hope this helps,
