DocumentItem Object

DocumentItem Multiple objects

A DocumentItem object is any document other than a Microsoft Outlook item as an item in an Outlook folder. In common usage, this will be an Office document but may be any type of document or executable file.

Note  When you try to programmatically add a user-defined property to a DocumentItem object, you receive the following error message: "Property is read-only." This is because the Outlook object model does not support this functionality.

Example

The following Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example shows how to create a DocumentItem.

Sub AddDocItem()
    Dim outApp As New Outlook.Application
    Dim nsp As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim mpfInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Dim doci As Outlook.DocumentItem
    
    Set nsp = outApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set mpfInbox = nsp.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
    Set doci = mpfInbox.Items.Add(olWordDocumentItem)
    doci.Subject = "Word Document Item"
    doci.Save
End Sub
