	i guess my question is not clear....here is the code is use (AFTER connection to MAPI connection) CalendarControl.Populate() Dim eventList As XtremeCalendarControl.CalendarEvents = CalendarControl.DataProvider.GetAllEventsRaw Dim MyEvent As XtremeCalendarControl.CalendarEvent = eventList(0) Dim s As String = MyEvent.CustomProperties.SaveToString the String value in "s" is: <Calendar CompactMode="1"><CustomProperties><CustomProperty Name="mapientryid" Value="" VariantType="8209"/><CustomProperty Name="mapisearchkey" Value="????????" VariantType="8209"/></CustomProperties></Calendar> AS you can see the value of "mapientryid" is empty. HOW can i recieve this value from the calendar control? regards, Guy Masadit Software

	"???????" often means unicoded content inside non-unicoded code. Is your version of Calendar built as unicoded or not?

	Well, no one writes to the "mapisearchkey" value. BUT, i am interested in the "mapientryid" value. "EntryID" is the unique ID for each item in MS-OUTLOOK. SO, i guess "mapientryid" should contain this value. I Really need "mapientryid" for the outlook appointments. but, the value return empty for each MAPI connection i make to any outlook calendar... how can this be fixed? how can i get the "EntryID" of an item in outlook through the MAPI connection? need help, guy.

	sqguy, did you ever get this figured out? I am trying to sync Outlook to my application and need to have the "mapientryid" as well. Were you able to successfully retrieve it after trying the unicode version of the calendar control? Thanks for your feedback. Sincerely, John P. Coffey
