removing duplicates

[Katwomanofsteele]

I would like to write something that will remove duplicates based on the
message ID. Any ideas on how to go about this?

Thanks

Better ask this in the outlook.program_vba group.

Note that there are already quite some add-in available that can do this.
Take a look here;

They have lots of other duplicate removers as well

If you decide to order use "BH93RF24" to get a discount

Darn - I ordered it before I got your reply but thanks anyways!

I was just thinking I could also do as a "project" a macro add-in to do this
as well, but I am a little rusty on my VBA. Haven't been able how to query
by MessageID.

I will try the other group though... but isn't that considered
"multiposting"? I am a little confused on the definition differences.

Thanks again

Well perhaps you can get a refund; you'll never know untill you try it,
right?

Since you've mentioned in your post to try the other newsgroup instead
people are informed that they don't have to respond to this one anymore. You
can post it in another newsgroup without the fears of being flamed at ;-)
