Hi,

On the pc of one of my clients (W2000, Office 2003) I'm getting sometimes an
exception when moving (Move) a MailItem to an Outlook-Folder: The RPC server
is not available. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA). The client has all
the updates/service packs/ etc isntalled...

Does anybody has any idea why this happens? Any help our hints would be
really appreciated! what is that RPC server thing?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pieter

This is what I do in my application (VB.NET 2005):
Private oItem As Outlook.MailItem

strStatus = "MOVE"

If (oFolder.StoreID <> clsDocShared.GlobalDoc.MyOutlookFolder.StoreID)
Or (oFolder.EntryID <> clsDocShared.GlobalDoc.MyOutlookFolder.EntryID) Then

'Move it to the right folder: StoreID

strStatus = "MOVE1"

oItem = oItem.Move(clsDocShared.GlobalDoc.MyOutlookFolder)

strStatus = "MOVE2"

End If

The whole exception:
The RPC server is not available. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)

What is the user's mail account configuration? (Exchange uses RPC.) In what part of the Outlook folder hierarchy is the target folder located?

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public

They actually do use Exchange.
The Move operation is from their personal MailBox (their own emails) or a
shared MailBox (which contains the incoming faxes) to a shared MailBox (so
everybody of the company has acess to the mail).

Is there any way to check if the RPC server is available? OR what happens
exactly with this exception so I can prevent it somehow? And why happens
this with this specific user?

I am facing the same issue. the same code worked fine a while ago, suddenly
it is causing after accessing some messages an exception, they have to run
the application again many times to filter the messages correctly.

The same code works fine at my machine, and other machines, yet on client
side it gives the same RPC exception, Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Raed

I'm sorry, but I still didn't find a solution.
Although, It seems only to happen when using handling the
Outlook.Items.ItemAdd-event...

Like this:
Private WithEvents colSentItems As Outlook.Items

Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim olNs As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
oApp = New Outlook.Application
olNs = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
colSentItems =
olNs.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail).Items
olNs = Nothing
oApp = Nothing
End Sub

Private Sub frmMain_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Try
colSentItems = Nothing
Catch ex As Exception
ErrorMessage(ex, "colSentItems = Nothing")
End Try
End Sub

When the users gets the exception, it happens during the "colSentItems =
Nothing" in the frmMain_FormClosing...

I even formatted a pc, installed it freshly with XP and Office 2003, and
even there it got the error.

One possible solution in my opinion: Putting tyhis stuff in an
outlook-addin. But it's jsut a guess, and I didn't had the time yet to test
it...

In case you'll find something, I would be happy to know it :-)

hope this helps,

Pieter
