Thanks, Joanne. But it´s no magic, for most of us developing software is the
job for many years.

"Parsing text" gives a lot of results. If you do have a link maybe I can
tell more about that function.

But why don´t you like the InStr function?

I was cracking my brain on this all day yesterday and here you make it
just a short and sweet few lines. Excellent!! I thank you for your
time.
I spent considerable time at outlookcode.com yesterday and found
something called parsing text that looks at these kind of emails where
there is a label: data format and tried writing it up for my own use
but failed at it.
I am gratefully going to use your loop to do this particular job, but
I would like to know if it would be feasible to use the parsing text
in a case like this - I know there are many ways to skin the cat in
programming, I simply am woefully short on the knowledge to accomplish
it.
But I do love the hunt - especially when you mvps give us the help we
need when we get bottled up. Just reading your groups I pickup so many
hints and points in the right direction. Better than a classroom any
day!
Thanks again
Joanne

Joanne, ThisOutlookSession is a good place for the code. For being able to
delete items you need a backward loop. Outlook´s Selection object doesn´t
know a Find method, instead you can use the Instr function:

Dim i as Long
....
For i=Items.Count To 1 Step-1
Set obj=Items(i)
If InStr(1, obj.Body, "Description: Successful", vbTextCompare)
Then
obj.Delete
Endif
Next

Your loop handles all the items in the folder - again and again. If you
have
another mechanism to clean up that folder then that´s ok. If instead the
folder´s content grows more and more then you´ll probably wish a faster
way
to loop through the unhandled items only.
