SetColumns Method

Microsoft Outlook Visual Basic

SetColumns Method

       

The SetColumns method allows the user to cache certain properties for extremely fast access to those particular properties of the item. The SetColumns method is useful for iterating through the Items object. If you don't use this method, Microsoft Outlook must open each item to access the property. With the SetColumns method, Outlook only checks the properties that you have cached. Properties which are not cached are returned empty.
