Yes there is, at least one that works for me. I apologize for not getting this to you sooner. Try prefacing your call to the Move() method with an = sign:

For Each m.oItem In This.oColItemRefs.Item
	=m.oItem.Move(m.oRetained) &&-- Preface w/ = sign.
Next m.oItem

This works fine for me. I get the "parameter is not optional" error in Outlook 2000 without the =.
