I'm getting it like this using Delphi:
const
EmptyDispParams: TDispParams = (rgvarg: nil; rgdispidNamedArgs: nil;
cArgs: 0; cNamedArgs: 0);
var
iLCID: Integer;
function GetDispId(const Obj: IDispatch; const Member: WideString;
DispIdPtr: PInteger): Boolean;
begin
Result := Succeeded(Obj.GetIdsOfNames(GUID_NULL, @Member, 1, iLCID,
DispIdPtr));
end;
function InvokePropertyGet(const Obj: IDispatch; Name:
WideString):Variant;
var
intDispId, ArgErr: Integer;
DispParams: TDispParams;
begin
if GetDispId(Obj, Name, @intDispId) then
begin
DispParams := EmptyDispParams;
OleCheck(Obj.Invoke(intDispId,
GUID_NULL,
iLCID,
DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET,
DispParams,
// Using D6 so if you are trying on later
versions
// change this to just Result
@Result,
nil,
// Using D6 so if you are trying on later
versions
// change this to just ArgErr
@ArgErr));
end;
end;
And retrieving with this call:
// OutlookCompareFieldName is a parameter to the function where this
code lies and is
// set to 'LastModificationTime'
AApptCompareFieldValue := InvokePropertyGet(AOutlookAppointmentItem,
OutlookCompareFieldName);
If I inspect the AOutlookAppointmentItem, the LastModificationTime is
the same as the one retrieved using the call above.
The reason I'm doing it this way is so I can pass, by name, which
property I want to retrieve.

That could not explain how the value returned was in the future. It
was a time stamp several minutes later
than the time on my system. My system time is not several minutes
behind the Exchange server time.
