OL2000: ResponseStatus Property Should Be Considered Read-Only (218412)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q218412 SYMPTOMS
Either you try to change the value of the ResponseStatus property of an AppointmentItem object, but the value is later lost, or you notice that the property is documented as being read/write in the Outlook Visual Basic Help file (Vbaoutl9.chm), but the Visual Basic object browser shows it as read-only.
CAUSE
The property is actually read/write, but any value that you assign to the property is overwritten by Outlook itself when meeting requests are sent.
RESOLUTION
Future documentation will indicate the property is read-only. However, the property will continue to be read/write, because Outlook itself sets the property. Also, changing the object model would break backwards compatibility.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
Because any changes you make to the value of the property will later be overwritten by Outlook, do not use the object model to change the property. Instead, consider it to be read-only.
