Re: integer8 attributes and updating them in AD

by "Joe Kaplan" <joseph.e.kaplan@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jul 23, 2008 at 10:10 AM

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

For integer8 attributes, you can either set them using an IADsLargeInteger

object or simply set the value with a string.  The latter technique is 
especially easy to deal with, as long as you can calculate the string
value 
you need.
