Okay, well I am learning. I don't know how I missed it earlier - but I found some info on my problem in threah 631337 - one I was in!!! LOL... but, I missed the later comments... am I to presume that since I am using VFP7, and Outlook 2000 that there is no way for me to move a message?

>Hi Everyone.... time to kick the ol' cow again - OUTLOOK automation... right, I have done a lot of study on this; checked a lot of FAQ, articles, and printed heaps of threads on the subject. So, I thought I would write my own little program... and it works... except for one small thing: moving A message from the inbox to the deleted items folder; notice I said 'A' message...
