We have shared contacts in a Public Folder that keep getting new info
replaced with old data. Is there a utility that will show who made the most
recent update to an individual contact?

We are using blackberry's so I have a feeling that is part of the problem,
but I need to nail it down with specific info.

Thanks,

Mike

I don't believe Outlook stores that information, but you could try using
Field Chooser to add the Organizer field from "All Appointments Fields" and
see if that gives some kind of indication.

The MAPI property PR_LAST_MODIFIER_NAME shows who last modified any Outlook
item, but it's not exposed in the Outlook object model or in the list of
fields you can use for views or the Field Chooser. It's only available in
low level accesses such as Extended MAPI or CDO 1.21 or Redemption and
that's code only.

Even Outlook 2007 doesn't expose that property to the UI.

Hm.  Why keep track of an invisible property?

So developers can use it in custom code <g>
