Re: Property tags - what happens if... (Rename of user defined fie

If a user property is added only to individual items then deleting it from each item where it exists will completely remove it. If it was also added to the folder then even deleting every item in the folder won't remove it from the folder fields. That would have to be done using a different API such as Extended MAPI (C++ or Delhi only, no managed code) or CDO 1.21 or Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption) to get at the folder fields.

If the UserProperty was created only in the items then deleting it from all
items with that property will completely remove it. If it was also added to
the folder fields then deleting it from all items won't be enough to
completely remove all traces of it.
Can I ask why you need to do all this and not just leave things as they are?
Whatever method you use will still involve getting each item in the folder
and deleting the properties and creating new ones. I don't think Redemption
would be significantly faster in that case than using the Outlook object
model. Whatever you use will take time for 6000 items.

Well, I am designing Language vocabulary flexible storage that would examine
you and store how successful you were back so that it examines you more often
from words you did not know.
Such a solution has advantage of synchronized personal knowledge that
evolves during the time with you.
The vocabulary and the schedules being in one folder.

What I need to do is, As I designed this solution I hd less experience than
now and I would like to do some meintenance of the sample vocabulary so that
it looks nicer.

Also, as I learned how to restrict with categores, I can remove my temp
field Categ2 that enabled me to filter and was duplicate and had to be copied
with the form so it was something I did not like at all.

I mean, I need this to make "Maintenance admin form" for me only, not for
the end user :-)
I am creating this kind of solution in my free time and dedicated a lot alot
of time so far and it works very quickly and I at least have some results
with redemption tahnks to your advices.

you can see a few screenshots at
http://filip.laburda.cz/zkouseni/zkouseni.html
the main advantage is, the store with vocabulary is very flexible to
categorize and is always up-to date with person that learns language


Do I understand it right, that with first item that exists in the store, the
store is aware of this fact and blocks the field from being deleted until I
remove the last item or, until I remove last occurence of the field, then
also PropertyTag that is unique for the store/perhaps folder?? can be
released ?

It is still great mystery for me :-)
