Example

The following code sample illustrates how to obtain a Table object based on the LastModificationTime of items in the Inbox. It also shows how to remove the default columns of the Table, add specific columns, and print the values of the corresponding properties of these items.

Visual Basic for Applications
  Sub RemoveAllAndAddColumns()
    'Declarations
    Dim Filter As String
    Dim oRow As Outlook.Row
    Dim oTable As Outlook.Table
    Dim oFolder As Outlook.Folder
'Get a Folder object for the Inbox
Set oFolder = Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

'Define Filter to obtain items last modified after May 1, 2005
Filter = "[LastModificationTime] > '5/1/2005'"
'Restrict with Filter
Set oTable = oFolder.GetTable(Filter)

'Remove all columns in the default column set
oTable.Columns.RemoveAll
'Specify desired properties
With oTable.Columns
    .Add ("Subject")
    .Add ("LastModificationTime")
    'PR_ATTR_HIDDEN referenced by the MAPI proptag namespace
    .Add ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x10F4000B")
End With

'Enumerate the table using test for EndOfTable
Do Until (oTable.EndOfTable)
    Set oRow = oTable.GetNextRow()
    Debug.Print (oRow("Subject"))
    Debug.Print (oRow("LastModificationTime"))
    Debug.Print (oRow("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x10F4000B"))
Loop

End Sub
