MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / May 2008determining which item(s) are being deleted
I would like to execute some code when certain items are deleted. Is there any way to detect which items are being deleted in the Items.ItemRemove event, and then query their properties before they are deleted? I tried checking Explorer.Selection, but: #1, I'm not confident that the current selection will ALWAYS contain the items being deleted #2, if I check the selected item's message class and then cast the object onto the appropriate type (for example, ContactItem for "IPM.Contact") I get an InvalidCast. Is there a way to (reliably) do what I'm trying to do? Jon No reliable way except for Outlook 2007. Items.ItemRemove() doesn't provide the item being deleted and it fires after the deletion. You can right-click on an item and delete it without it being selected, so Explorer.Selection is not viable. You can check for ItemAdd on the Items collection of the Deleted Items folder, but if the user hard deletes an item (Shift+Delete) the item won't go there. About all you could do is index the items in a folder and check after ItemRemove() to see which item or items are missing.

The target folder is null (Nothing) if the item is being deleted, you get the item reference and there's a cancel argument.
