Ori,
For a list of resources on using Outlook from VB.NET:
http://www.microeye.com/resources/res_outlookvsnet.htm

For help & information on programming Outlook (mostly VB6, some VB.NET):
http://www.outlookcode.com/

Some samples of using Outlook with VB.NET:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/def...OLOMwVBNET.asp

A sample COM Add-in for Outlook written in VB.NET:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...hatsNew2k3.asp
Did you check the online help for specifics on using dates with the Find
method?

It needs to be in the following (VBA) format:

sFilter = "[LastModificatio nTime] > '" & Format("1/15/99 3:30pm", "ddddd
h:nn AMPM") & "'"

Remember that you can still use the VBA/VB6 Format function in .NET so it
would be:

sFilter = "[LastModificatio nTime] > '" & Format(Now, "ddddd h:nn AMPM")
& "'"

or if you prefer (unchecked):

sFilter = "[LastModificatio nTime] > '" & Now.ToString("d dddd h:nn AMPM")
& "'"

Hope this helps
Jay

"FIND" command is narrowed

In the ISPF editor I am using, for a particullar PO Dataset I am getting the result of FIND statement narrowed down to the colums 48-56. i.e. if I give "FIND 'TO' ALL", the result I am getting as "CHARS 'TO' - found 239 times within columns 48 to 56". Please guide me as to how to make this PDS back to normal so that the FIND command processes the whole 1 TO 80. Thank you for the valuable time.

Using the "Find" tool in the text editor

by: Rudy Ray Moore | last post by:

Hi guys, I often use the "Find" (aka CTRL-F) tool in "Visual Studio .net 2003 7.1 c++". I noticed that that dialog box does not go away when I perform a search (it stays on the screen). This is different from the behavior of VS6. I find this frusterating because a mouse click is required to close the window (I cannot ALT-TAB back to the find window to press ESC).
