Steve,
Me being stupid here. The tasks collection is dynamic so when you delete an
entry then the collection changes so you can't traverse simply oonce through it
like you are doing.
Each time you delete a task you have to re-initialise the collection and
traverse again through it, for example:
loOutlook = CREATE("Outlook.Application")
loNamespace = loOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
oTasks = loNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(13)
nDeletions = 99
*
do while nDeletions<>0
nDeletions=0
for each loTask in oTasks.Items
if substr(loTask.Subject,1,1)='#'
lStatus=loTask.Delete
nDeletions = nDeletions + 1
exit
endif
endfor
enddo

Steve,
In that case check the return value from the function.
Sometimes Outlook "Suspends" in order to process events and I think this must
be what is happening and in your case you are simply ignoring the "busy"
status. This is usually prevalent when the .pst files are either large or held
on a network storage medium.

Thanks for that Dave,
I put the = sign in and it ran, although it did not delete all the tasks
I requested, which are those begining with '#' cant figure this out
yet.
Regards
Steve
