Q61643 - HOWTO: CDO Filter on AppointmentItems

CDO Filter on AppointmentItems

According to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 192404, when filtering on a collection of Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) AppoinmentItems, the Start and End dates must be reversed to make the filter work as expected.

The following example maps the VB code in the article 192404 to Java.

VB

'You must add a Reference to Microsoft CDO version 1.21.
Set objSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")

objSession.Logon
Set objCalendar = objSession.GetDefaultFolder(MAPI.CdoDefaultFolderCalendar)
Set oMsgColl = objCalendar.Messages

Set oMsgFilter = oMsgColl.Filter
oMsgFilter.Fields.Add CdoPR_START_DATE, "10/1/06"
oMsgFilter.Fields.Add CdoPR_END_DATE, "9/1/06"

Set oAppt = oMsgColl.GetFirst
MsgBox oAppt.Subject

Do While (Not oAppt Is Nothing)
  MsgBox oAppt.Subject
  Set oAppt = oMsgColl.GetNext
Loop
objSession.Logoff
