Example

This Visual Basic for Applications example uses the Restrict method to apply a filter to contact items based on the item's LastModificationTime property.

Public Sub ContactDateCheck()
    Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim myNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim myContacts As Outlook.Items
    Dim myItems As Outlook.Items
    Dim myItem As Object
    Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set myNamespace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set myContacts = myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Items
    Set myItems = myContacts.Restrict("[LastModificationTime] > '01/1/2003'")
    For Each myItem In myItems
        If (myItem.Class = olContact) Then
            MsgBox myItem.FullName & ": " & myItem.LastModificationTime
        End If
    Next
End Sub

		

The following Visual Basic for Applications example is the same as the example above, except that it demonstrates the use of a variable in the filter.

Public Sub ContactDateCheck2()
	Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
	Dim myNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
	Dim myContacts As Outlook.Items
	Dim myItem As Outlook.Object
	Dim DateStart As Date
	Dim DateToCheck As String
	Dim myRestrictItems As Outlook.Items
	Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
	Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
	Set myContacts = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Items
	DateStart = #01/1/2003#
	DateToCheck = "[LastModificationTime] >= """ & DateStart & """"
	Set myRestrictItems = myContacts.Restrict(DateToCheck)
	For Each myItem In myRestrictItems
		 If (myItem.Class = olContact) Then
            MsgBox myItem.FullName & ": " & myItem.LastModificationTime
        End If
	Next
End Sub
