The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Outlook 2000

This article was previously published under Q267946

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications method to update a Folder object to set a folder for offline synchronization, the Folder object may return a MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND Error (0x8004010f).

The following Visual Basic for Applications code reproduces this problem:

Set ObjSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
ObjSession.Logon
dim objPrivateStore
Set objPrivateStore = ObjSession.InfoStores("Boite aux lettres - Keith Personett-FRN")
strIDTrash = objPrivateStore.Fields.Item(&H35E30102).Value
Dim objContacts
Set objContacts = ObjSession.GetFolder(strIDTrash, objPrivateStore.ID)
Set objInfostore = ObjSession.InfoStores("Public Folders")
strIDDossierFavoris = objInfostore.Fields.Item(&H66300102).Value
Set objDossierFavoris = ObjSession.GetFolder(strIDDossierFavoris, ObjInfostore.ID)
Set objFolder = objDossierFavoris.Folders("TestOfflineFavorite")
Set objFields = objFolder.Fields
Set MyNewField = objFields.Add(&H663D0003, 1)
objFolder.Update
If (Err.Number) Then
    MsgBox (Err.Description)
End If
Set objPrivateStore = nothing
Set objContacts = nothing
					

With the code changes made in the Emsmdb32.dll file, the developer must make sure that the private information store is open so that this operation functions correctly.
