Flags
Hi
I have a flag in outlook which is ticked (completed) however when viewing it in VBA the flagicon is coming out as Green and the flagstatus as Marked (even though it should be completed). Is this a result of a previous bit of bad coding? And if so is there a way to correct it easily? Thanks Lawrence

Thanks but I sorted it out. Didnt set my sort up properly so it was
flagging wrong thing! Another question, is there an easy way to delete all red flags in my email folder? Using a for loop is difficult as when an item is deleted the number order is all wrong and i cant get my head around it lol Cheers Guy Lapierre wrote: Is the flag being used for on an email, contact, task, etc? -- Guy Lapierre Forefront Business Solutions http://www.forefrontbusinesssolutions.com http://www.forefrontbusiness.com "vortex2k4" wrote: Hi I have a flag in outlook which is ticked (completed) however when viewing it in VBA the flagicon is coming out as Green and the flagstatus as Marked (even though it should be completed).

Looping through the collection with a For Each loop should work.
For Each Item in Collection If flag is red delete Next -- Guy Lapierre Forefront Business Solutions http://www.forefrontbusinesssolutions.com http://www.forefrontbusiness.com "vortex2k4" wrote: Thanks but I sorted it out.

Never use a For...Each loop to delete items from a collection. Use a down
counting For loop. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Guy Lapierre" wrote in message ...

Yes, a much better suggestion. I tend to not build any loops that delete
data. The concept just scares me. -- Guy Lapierre Forefront Business Solutions http://www.forefrontbusinesssolutions.com http://www.forefrontbusiness.com "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: Never use a For...Each loop to delete items from a collection.

Thanks for that, i was trying to do an upward for loop, which was
always failing halfway through due to the deleting of data messing up the order. Never thought of using a down loop, and it works perfectly now....thanks  One more question for you guys/gals is if you can sort a folder by a flag? i.e. Set itms = objInbox.Items itms.Sort "[Subject]" where subject is sorted, but i can not find the right syntax for flag Any help would be appreciated.
