UserProperty Object

Description

Represents a custom property of an Outlook item.

Using The UserProperty Object

Use UserProperties(index), where index is a name or index number, to return a single UserProperty object.

Use the Add method to create a new UserProperty object for an item and add it to the UserProperties collection. The Add method allows you to specify a name and type for the new property. The following example adds a custom text property named "MyPropName" to myItem.

Set myProp = myItem.UserProperties.Add("MyPropName", olText)

Remarks

When you create a custom property, a field is added in the folder that contains the item (using the same name as the property). That field can be used as a column in folder views.
