Flags

[vortex2k4]

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

Is the flag being used for on an email, contact, task, etc?

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

Looping through the collection with a For Each loop should work.

For Each Item in Collection
If flag is red delete
Next

Never use a For...Each loop to delete items from a collection. Use a down
counting For loop.

Yes, a much better suggestion. I tend to not build any loops that delete
data. The concept just scares me.

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.


Thanks

FlagRequest for the text for the flag, FlagIcon for the color of the flag.
