    <p>I have the following macro in outlook to clear my deleted folder. its strange as it doesn't seem to delete all entries. I have to run this a few times for it to clear to deleted items folder. (usually 2 or 3 times). Each time the number of deleted items in the folder does get reduced but I don't understand why everything doesn't get wiped out in the first go.</p> <p>Here is my code; Anything wrong?</p> <pre><code>Public Sub EmptyDeletedEmailFolder() Dim outApp As Outlook.Application Dim deletedFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder Dim item As Object Dim entryID As String Set outApp = CreateObject("outlook.application") Set deletedFolder = outApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDeletedItems) For Each item In deletedFolder.Items item.Delete ' Delete from mail folder Next Set item = Nothing Set deletedFolder = Nothing Set outApp = Nothing End Sub </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
