Known Issues

This sample can be used only with Microsoft Outlook 98/2000 installed in 'Corporate or Workgroup Mode', using the MAPI provider to access Microsoft Exchange Server. Because of the fact that the 'Folder contact' property cannot be accessed with this sample it is always dimmed. Also the 'Folder visible' property is always set, because if the particular folder were not visible it could not accessed it with Microsoft Outlook and CDO.

After installing the Outlook security update this sample will stop working properly because of changes made by Microsoft. For more info on the Outlook security update please check Outlook e-mail Security Update

Note that the Office/Outlook 2000 setup does not install CDO 1.21 by default. You need to run the Office/Outlook 2000 setup and add CDO 1.21 as custom option.

Prerequisites

Make sure that Microsoft Outlook 98/2000 is installed in Corporate or Workgroup mode and running properly, because Outlook 98/2000 is required to use the 'NameSpace.PickFolder' method to display a folder selection box.
