Hello!

Could anyone please help me with Clear Flag macro for Outlook 2003?

Sometimes I "flag" my e-mail items for follow up with flags of various
colors. To remove the flag, I need to right clic, go to follow up, then
select clear flag. Is there a way to do with one macro to be assigned
to a button or shortcut? I would also like to be able to select several
items and remove flags on all of them with just one click.

I found the code written by Sue Mosher he
http://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/04...Listing_01.txt
but unfortunately it does not work. Probably because I use Outlook
2003, and the code was written for previous versions.

Maybe there is a simple way to put that menu item on a toolbar? Any
help is appreciated.

Thx!

In the code snippet you cited, change this statement

Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

to

Set objOL = Application

To add a VBA macro to the toolbar, see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/toolbar.htm#macro

Thanks, Sue! Made the change, but unfortunately it didn't work

After the change I restarted Outlook. It only removes the words "Follow
up" which appear in a grey borderlss box, in the top part of a message
(just below sender's name). However it does not remove the flag.

Maybe there's something wrong with my Outlook? Macro security is set to
"Low".

Try adding:

.FlagIcon = olNoFlagIcon

BTW, if you want to troubleshoot this kind of thing for yourself, get a copy of Outlook Spy (http://www.dimastr.com) so you can check and compare Outlook property values without writing code.
