ProcInstance

The ProcInstance object represents an instance of a process being executed. Sometimes called the PIM (Process Instance Message), this object consists of the original MAPI message consisting of the WorkItem plus additional properties for the state and map information.

The ProcInstance object is a top-level object that can be created independently, or obtained through the RouteDetails object. The CDO Message object for this ProcInstance is also made available as the Msg property on the RouteDetails object. Therefore, you need not bind a Message object to the ProcInstance. The folder in which the ProcInstance resides is also available as the Folder property on the RouteDetails object.

After creating the object, in order to use it you must associate it with the specific message that it is stored in by using the Open method.
