Public Folder Posts Don't Update

Author	Message
Dav Bank #1 / 3	Public Folder Posts Don't Update Has anyone else had a problem with Public Folder Posts not updating? I have a form that reads information from a public folder post and occasionally changes that information. With and oject representing the post I use the Save method to "Save" the information. The user that saves the info can now see the changes but no one else can. Everyone else sees the pre-edited version. In fact, I can have four different users edit the same information at 10 minute intervals from each other and when done they see four different sets of information. An hour later - maybe - a flury of conflict messages will go out. Does anyone have a clue what's happening here? I don't! Dav Banks

Wart Ho #2 / 3	Public Folder Posts Don't Update You need to check the PF replication time period on each of your Exchange servers. If your replication period is set too high, it'll take a while for all of your users to see updates. Changes to public folder items aren't instantaneous.

Dav Bank #3 / 3	Public Folder Posts Don't Update I found the answer to this one, I believe. It seems that as long as the reference object remains open the changes don't really write. My previous code was something like, For i = 0 to n objMessage.UserProperty(MyArray(i).Name).Value = MyArray(i).Value Next objMessage.Save As stated, this doesn't work - though it makes no sense to me why it wouldn't! Design flaw or feature? You decide! Anyway, if two users were looking at the information and one user changed the info using the code above, the second would not see the changes if they refreshed or opened the form. However, using the code below seems to work, For i = 0 to n objMessage.UserProperty(MyArray(i).Name).Value = MyArray(i).Value Next objMessage.Save Set objMessage = Nothing Releasing the object, as above, seems to cause the data to write so others can see it. What a nice undocumented feature! :) -- Dav Banks __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Network Services - Activations UUNet Technologies Office: 703.645.4280 Quote: > Has anyone else had a problem with Public Folder Posts not updating?
