That looks like an EntryID or GUID value you're putting into that property. With CDO, there are times you need to munge the string into a different form.
Www.cdolive.com and the MAPI-L mailing list both have the solutions to that in their archives. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Herold Heiko Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 4:01 AM To: List Perl-Win32-Admin (E-mail) Subject: Long ole outlook property tags ? Anybody knows how to do something like this in perl (vb sample): Set objField = objFields.Item("0x8535", "0820060000000000C000000000000046") There seems to be problems with the numerical conversions, I couln't find a way to pass the "0820060000000000C000000000000046" (or whatever) parameter correctly. Same thing when inspecting existing fields (these are cdo $messageobject->{Fields}) I see those fields badly converted, $msg->{Fields}->Item(1)->{Name} tend to become -2142043902 or similar (overflow).
