{ 
     DWORD dwLowDateTime; 
     DWORD dwHighDateTime; 
} FILETIME, FAR *LPFILETIME;

Remarks

A property of type PT_SYSTIME has a FILETIME structure for its value. Such a property has a FILETIME data type for the Value member in its definition in an SPropValue structure.

The definition of the FILETIME structure is in the Win32 Programmer's Reference and in the MAPI header file MAPIDEFS.H. MAPI defines the structure conditionally to ensure that it is defined when the Win32 definition is unavailable.
