Re: Find flagstatus

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, but I'll probably stick with the "for each" script I
already have to go thru all my items.

I know that the given example wasn't real VBA script, it was only mentioned
to clear out the problem.

Could this be done be a simple search and find; perhaps some kind of filter
or query!?

Cheers,
PascalB

I always think it's a good idea to create the query string with a separate
statement, so you can test the result:

strFind = "[Flagstatus]=""&olNoFlag&"
MsgBox strFind

In this case, that would give you a query string of

[Flagstatus]="&olNoFlag&

which isn't going to find anything at all. First of all, FlagStatus is an
enumerated property, not a string. Second, the & characters are used in your
expression as string literals not concatenation operator. So, you're close,
but not quite there. This would be the query expression that includes the
actual value of olNoFlag:

strFind = "[Flagstatus]=" & olNoFlag

To use AdvancedFind in a script, you'd need a loop with a timer to add a
delay to allow the search to complete. I'd stick to Find and Restrict.

Hi,

Looking thru the help file and MSDN, I wasn't able to find an example to
find messages by flagstatus.
The only examples I found are looping thru the entire folder.

I need to find only certain mailitems who are not flagged, or the Flagicon
is Red.

For example, i need
Set myItem = myFolder.Items.Find("[Flagstatus]=""&olNoFlag&")

I know it is possible to search certain mailitems by using "Advanced
find",
but how do you do this by script?

Thanks in advance,

PascalB
