The Fields property returns a single Field object or a Fields collection object. Read-only.
objInfoStore.Fields
objInfoStore.Fields(index)
objInfoStore.Fields(proptag)
objInfoStore.Fields(name)
Object (Field or Fields collection)
The Fields property returns one or all of the fields associated with an InfoStore object. Each field typically corresponds to a MAPI property. Data types are preserved, except that MAPI counted binary properties are converted to and from character strings representing hexadecimal digits.
The Fields property provides a generic access mechanism that allows Microsoft® Visual Basic® and Microsoft® Visual C++® programmers to retrieve the value of a MAPI property using either its name or its MAPI property tag. For access with the property tag, use objInfoStore.Fields(proptag), where proptag is the 32-bit MAPI property tag associated with the property, such as CdoPR_STORE_SUPPORT_MASK. To access a named property, use objInfoStore.Fields(name), where name is a string that represents the custom property name.
Although the Fields property itself is read-only, the collection it returns can be accessed in the normal manner through its Add and Delete methods, and the properties on its member Field objects retain their respective read/write or read-only accessibility.
The Fields(name) syntax is not supported by all message store providers. An InfoStore that does not support named properties returns CdoE_NO_SUPPORT for this syntax.
If your application is running as a Microsoft Windows NT® service, you cannot access the Microsoft Exchange Public Folders through the normal hierarchy because of a notification conflict. You must use the InfoStore's Fields property to obtain the Microsoft Exchange property PR_IPM_PUBLIC_FOLDERS_ENTRYID, property tag &H66310102. This represents the top-level public folder and allows you to access all other public folders through its Folders property. For more information on Windows NT services, see the Win32® Web page Using MAPI from a Windows NT Service at http://www.microsoft.com/win32dev/mapi/mapiserv.htm.
This code fragment accesses the root of the Public Folders subtree of a message store:
Dim objSess As Session ' assume logged on to valid session
Dim objInfoStore As InfoStore ' assume opened and valid
Dim strPFRootID As String ' binary entry ID returned as hex string
Dim objPFRoot As Folder ' root folder of Public Folders
tagPFRootID = &H66310102 ' PR_IPM_PUBLIC_FOLDERS_ENTRYID
strPFRootID = objInfoStore.Fields(tagPFRootID) ' entry ID
MsgBox "Public Folders root folder ID = " & strPFRootID
Set objPFRoot = objSession.GetFolder(strPFRootID)
