Strange VBA error

[D.Moore]

Hi,

I would like to ask your kind help.

I have an Outlook VBA code (actually a pretty complex one) built in the past years step by step to cover all stuff I wanted to automatize in Outlook. One of this task to pull/move all my exchange account sent item folders content to my default exchange account.

It works all great, UNTIL it "collides" with my iphone accessing the exchange account teh same time when outlook vba does. Then, I receive the following error:

But the error cannot be valid, as first of all function does exist:

secondly, it works PEERFECTLY until outlook vba can access the folder for a second as my iphone does. .

I though since :

"On Error Resume Next "

is added, even if the error raised, VBA would step over it, but it doesnt.

As I know by fact that the code works perfect, and if outlook VBA retry again in couple sec will be all fine, is there any way I can ensure that if such error raised, capture it then continue ?

Many thanks for your time and help in advance!

I thought I answered this before... I have a habit of composing answers then get sidetracked and forget to post or send. The forum saves drafts for a few days... but it's been longer, so my draft is gone too.

The iPhone should not have an effect, unless you are using iTunes to sync. For exchange or imap, Outlook and the phone are touching the server and it shouldn't be an issue as each has a synced copy.

As you have discovered, on error resume next doesnt work with all error types...

I wonder if adding a short delay would help. Outlook doesnt have a timer, but you can do something like

for I = 1 to 10000
next i
before that line and see if it helps.

eta: I dont know what number would be optimal.

BIG thank you for your time, help and reply !
I try the suggested solution immediately and let you know the result.
Allow me to ask:
- it means no other, more effective error handling than on error resume available?
- How this error can come at first place when the function indeed exist and working ?

@Diane Poremsky: Unfortunately, this doesn't solved the problem. Any other idea ? Also May I ask if you saw may other messaeg ?
