Hi,

I use the Ole-Object "Application.Outlook" from Delphi V, and everything
works well. I now want to get some MailItems by using the Find/FindNext-
method. But I want to search for several substrings. For example:

I want to find the SenderNames:   "Michael Jordan", "Michael Best", ...

I cannot say as expression:  '[SenderName] LIKE "Michael"',
when I use '[SenderName] = "Michael"] only the Items are returned,
where SenderName is "Michael".

Can someone tell me the missing hint ?

thx a lot,
carsten willems

Use Delphi's Pos function, Outlook's Find method is not
very sophisticated.

However, in the specific example you gave, you could just
look at the FirstName property instead of the SenderName...

Thanks, but I exactly want to search for substrings IN fields
(i.e. for "est" for getting "testing", ...). I just choosed this example
to explain ;)

But thanks for your answer, I now use pos() of Pascal, as also
suggested in this thread (thx ;)). This also solves the problem,
that I cant use FIND with the BODY-Field.

thx a lot for all ur help,
