In "hacking about", I created several user defined fields which I would like

to remove. Under "all fields" they are listed under "User-Defined Field In

This Item", "User-Defined Fields In This Folder"and "Mens Club"(custome

form). How can I remove these fields.
 
On the All Fields page in the form design, you should see a Remove button on

the User-Defined Fields ... views. You may also want to go into the folder's

View dialog and remove the field definitions with the Remove button there.

Best practice is to do your "hacking about" in a test folder that you can

later delete.

Just to add to Sue's response:

#1 - If UDF's are exclusively part of the custom form

then you only need to remove them from the form definition

(unless the same fields were created in the folder prior to

the custom form being assigned)

#2 - If no custom form in play, removing the fields from the

"In folder" group will not remove the fields already assigned

to an individual item which occurs if there is a value in a

given UDF field. In those cases, if you want to completely

remove all traces of the UDF, you will need to remove

each UDF from each individual contact item where these

occur. (something that can be very easily done in bulk

via VBA)

Sue, Thank you for your response. I slowly learning how to prevent these

mistakes.

Ref. your response, I'm sure it's obvious but what is "the folder's view

dialog"?

Karl,

What would the code to remove userdifined fields look like. Would this be

something using "userproperties.remove" and what would the expressions after

setting the object to a folder look like?

This quick snip should do the trick but there are lots of ways to do the

same thing. To stress, this should only be used for UDF's that are

NOT part of a custom form definition.

--------------------------------------Dim olItms As Outlook.Items

Dim olCItm As Outlook.ContactItem

Dim olUProp As Outlook.UserProperty

' assume olItms already set to selected ContactFolder.Items

For Each olCItm In olItms

'this skips everything other than contacts assigned to the

'standard contact message class

If olCItm.MessageClass <> "IPM.Contact" Then

GoTo Next_Con

End If

Set olUProp = olCItm.UserProperties.Find("PropName", True)

'this will skip the property if it doesn't exist for a given

contact

'UDF's should NEVER be deleted this way if a custom form

' is in use

If olUProp Is Nothing Then

'if checking for more than one UDF - adjust accordingly

GoTo Next_Con

End If

olUProp.Delete

olCItm.Save

Next_Con:

Next
