I am using some VBA (which I found on this site) to empty the Deleted Items folders for multiple accounts. Link to the source.

The code works perfectly, so no issues there. What I would like is to modify the code so that the prompt which asks me for confirmation is automatically accepted.

The specific code which does the emptying is:

If deletedItemsFolder.Items.Count > 0 Then
objExpl.CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("EmptyFolder")
End If
Click to expand...

Is there a way to force the dialog box to be accepted?
 
Hi Diane,

Any luck finding out if this is possible?

Cheers,

Paul
 
In file > options > advanced, do you have "Prompt for confirmation before permanently deleting items" enabled? If that is unchecked, it shouldn't trigger the warning. Otherwise, you need to use ClickYes script.

Hi Diane,

Works perfectly! Thx so much for getting back to me. I did not expect it to be so simple!

Cheers,

Paul
