The RemoteStatus property forces items to be downloaded in Outlook 2003 (826490)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
SYMPTOMS When you use a custom program to determine if an item has
been downloaded in Outlook 2003, the program may force the item to be
downloaded. CAUSE This problem may occur if you use the RemoteStatus property in the Microsoft Outlook object model. The problem
occurs because of a limitation in the RemoteStatus property. The RemoteStatus property requires access to a property of the e-mail message and
forces the item to be downloaded. RESOLUTION To resolve this problem, use the MarkForDownload property instead of the RemoteStatus property when you determine whether an item has been fully
downloaded. Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. The following Microsoft Outlook automation code is
an example of how to use the MarkForDownload property: Sub CheckStatus(Item As Outlook.RemoteItem)
If Item.MarkForDownload = olMarkedForDownload Then
' Do Something
ElseIf Item.MarkForDownload = olMarkedForCopy Then
' Do Something else
End If
End Sub STATUS Microsoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
at the beginning of this article.
