I'm not sure if this will help or solve your problem - but you could
give Outlook Redemption a look - http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/
"Outlook Redemption works around limitations imposed by the Outlook Security
Patch and Service Pack 2 of MS Office 98/2000 and Office 2002 and 2003 (which
include Security Patch) plus provides a number of objects and functions to work
with properties and functionality not exposed through the Outlook object model."
Good luck!
