[AccessD] Deleting Outlook Contacts

  BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; }I
will look at my stuff tonight and see if I have an example.  I have
been having problems with my cable modem so I may not get a reply back
until tomorrow.

 " index the contact to be deleted "  not sure what you mean.  I'm a
real
 amateur at the Outlook object model.

think
 your problem is with the way For Each iterates in olContacts.  I am
out on a
 customer site and don't have access to all my test beds, but I would
suggest
 that you index the contact to be deleted and count down from the
number of
 items in the olContacts collection.  I don't remember whether that
index is
 zero based or one based.
  I also suggest that you lose the "GoTo" but that's just style.

  Dear List:
  Still struggling with deleting the Outlook contacts.  I found that
looping
 through the items and deleting them deleted half so if I started
with 1000
 contacts at the end of the loop I had 500 left.  If I sent the
program back
 through the loop I ended up with 250.  etc.
  So iterating that loop until the Count = 0 works but it's kludgey. 
 Why does
  it leave half of the contacts behind each time?
  Here's the code:
      ' delete all the current contacts
      Set olContacts = olFolder.Items
  DeleteAgain:
      Me.txtProcessing = "Deleting..." & olContacts.Count
      Me.Repaint
      For Each olContactItem In olContacts
          'MsgBox olContactItem.LastName & ", " &
olContactItem.FirstName & "
  - " & olContacts.Count
          olContactItem.Delete
          DoEvents
      Next
      Set olContacts = olFolder.Items
      If olContacts.Count  0 Then GoTo DeleteAgain:
  Me.txtProcessing displays the number of contacts each time through
the big
 loop.  So that's how I know it's only deleting 1/2 each time. When I
 uncomment the MsgBox line inside the loop, it shows the count going
to zero
 each time the loop executes.  But after the loop finishes, there's
still 1/2
 the contacts left.  refreshing the count by Set olContacts =
olFolder.Items
 gives the right count again.
  Any idea what the heck is going on here?
