This article describes how you can determine the value of constants for the Microsoft Outlook object model, and also provides a list of all Microsoft Outlook 2002 object model constants.

Back to the top

In earlier versions of Microsoft Office, and in later versions of Office, the Microsoft Visual Basic Reference Help files provide the values of object model constants. However, in Outlook 2002, the Visual Basic Reference Help files do not provide these values. Additionally, the Outlook Visual Basic Reference no longer contains a topic listing all the Outlook constants and their corresponding values.

If you are developing custom Outlook forms using Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), or developing in an environment in which you cannot reference the Outlook object model, you must use the value of the constants in your code and cannot refer to the constants by name. To view the Outlook constants, you must use the Outlook object browser in the Outlook Script Editor, or you can use the object browser that is available with the Visual Basic Editor that is used with Visual Basic for Applications.

As an alternative, the following list of Outlook 2002 constants can serve as a quick summary of constant values. You may want to copy and paste this information into a word processor and reformat it to fit on one or two pages so that you print it out as a reference.
