I've asked this question about 3 months ago with no replies. I'm really hoping that someone can help me on this...

I need to know how to determine if an item (such as an open item being viewed) is actually open or if it is merely being referenced (such as an item returned when looping through items in a folder and processing them)? I've tried everything and can't seem to figure out how to tell the difference via code.

I have certain code in my form that should only execute if the user is currently working with the item (such as if the user changes a field) but not execute if that field is changed via code running from VBA.

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks,

John

Look for an Inspector that has that item as its CurrentItem.
