delteting contacts via vb

[Roland Bialas]

Hi NG,
i m on a little tool that collects contact data from an access DB. This
function works.

No i need to eraese all contacts wich might be entered with this tool. So i
set a flag in "categories" like "ACENTRY".

so my prog should look at every contact to determine if this is a user input
or the item was inserted by the prog.
If so it should be deleted.

but until now only few and random datas are deleted.
In the for each there is somewhere an error.
But i get no more information about it than 0.
Thanks
Roland

Deletions from a collection should always use a count down loop.
Otherwise the loop counter gets confused since you are changing its
parameters within the loop:
For i = colContacts.Count to 1 Step -1
