Moving Items

This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.

To move items within a public store, use the Record.MoveRecord method. If you move a folder item, all items within the folder are also moved. You cannot use the Record.MoveRecord method to move items from one public store or mailbox store to another.
