Filter for Notes isn’t working as I expect. What should I do different?

[dgerisch]

I’ve made an applet to post Notes to people’s calendars on certain days; but realize that with ubiquitous virtual machines / remote desktops, there is a high likelihood of duplicate posting.

How to not post the Note again, if it’s been posted once already?

Seems to me a Filter would be the answer:

dim iFilter
dim oMessages

iFilter = “(NOTE) AND (SUBJECT CONTAINS “”Put note subject line here””)”
set oMessages = GroupWise.Account.Mailbox.Messages.Find(iFilter)
msgbox oMessages.count

This always returns zero. Yes, I’ve tried many variations on the subject line.

This, on the other hand, returns the count of the number of Notes on my calendar today:

iFilter = “(NOTE)”
set oMessages = GroupWise.Account.Mailbox.Messages.Find(iFilter)
msgbox oMessages.count

So if I have six Notes on my calendar today, oMessages.count returns six.

But what I need, is to be able to tell if the note “subject line here” has already been posted for the particular dates months in the future.

Suggestions on how to make it work?
