This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
Try to add '=' sign
=loOneContact.Delete()
BTW, you can use < pre > tag to preserve code formating in a message.

>I am running VFP 7 with Service Pack 1 and Outlook 2000 SR-1 (9.0.0.3821). Sometimes when I try to delete a contact in Outlook I get the message "parameter is not optional". If I step through the code then it works and deletes the contact. This behavior makes it very difficult to trace the problem. Below is the code currently. This code worked fine in VFP6.
