GetLast Method

The GetLast method returns the last object in the specified collection. It returns Nothing if no last object exists, for example, if the collection is empty.

Note  To ensure correct operation of the GetFirst , GetLast, GetNext , and GetPrevious methods in a large collection, call GetFirst before calling GetNext on that collection, and call GetLast before calling GetPrevious. To ensure that you are always making the calls on the same collection, create an explicit variable that refers to that collection before entering the loop.

expression.GetLast

*expression    * Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Example

The following Visual Basic for Applications example searches the subfolders of Inbox for a folder called MyPersonalEmails and displays a message to the user. If you do not have a subfolder called MyPersonalEmails in your Inbox folder, the example will display nothing.

Sub TestGetLast()
    Dim outApp As New Outlook.Application
    Dim nsp As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim mpf As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Dim mpfSubFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Dim flds As Outlook.Folders
    Dim idx As Integer

    Set nsp = outApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set mpf = nsp.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
    Set flds = mpf.Folders
    Set mpfSubFolder = flds.GetLast
    Do While Not mpfSubFolder Is Nothing
        If mpfSubFolder.Name = "MyPersonalEmails" Then
            MsgBox "The folder was found."
            Exit Do
        End If
            
        Set mpfSubFolder = flds.GetPrevious
    
    Loop

End Sub
