Re: Search an Outlook appointment

That's it. I can convert my datetime to a string, depending on the local
systemtime using :
GetDateFormat(NULL, DATE_SHORTDATE, &st, NULL, strDate, 250);

Then I can make my search string using the strDate.

If anyone has the same problem, I can help.

Regards,

Thanks for your answer.

But the application is written in C++. CStr does not exists.

And my problem is to convert datetime to a string : the string must be
03/27/2006 for an english user using datetime like mm/dd/yyyy and the string
must be 27/03/2006 for a french user using datetime like dd/mm/yyyy .

How can I get the right datetime format of the user for making the search?

Or how can I make a search with the long value of the datetime. (this
solution runs fine with POOM on a Pocket PC : [Start] >= <38803.7082)?

You can use CStr function to convert datetime to a string:
dtStart = #03/27/2006#
strSearch = "[Start] >= " & CStr(dtStart)

To create restrictions in Redemption, use the MAPITable object.See
http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/mapitable.htm#resand for an example that
restricts messages on a range of dates.

Hi,

I need to search for Outlook appointements from date to date. But I do not
know the date format of the client.

_AppointmentItemPtr pAppointment;
pAppointment=pItems->Find(CSSearch);

It runs fine if the search is : [Start] >= '03/27/2006' for an english
client using 'mm/dd/yyyy' as date format.

But it must be : [Start] >= '27/03/2006' for a french client using date
format like 'dd/mm/yyyy'.

How could I get the customer date format?

Or how could I make a search using the long value of the date?
It runs fine with POOM on Pocket PC with search like : [Start] >=
<38803.7082. But this search does not run with Outlook.

Any idea?

Regards,

PS : I also using Outlook Redemption. Is there a search solution for
Outlook
appointments inside?
