Private Sub Application_AdvancedSearchComplete(ByVal SearchObject As Search)
MsgBox "The AdvancedSearchComplete Event fired for " & SearchObject.Tag & _
" and the scope was " & SearchObject.Scope
blnSearchComp = True
End Sub


Sub TestAdvancedSearchComplete()
'List all items in the Inbox that do NOT have a flag:
Dim objSch As Outlook.Search
Const strF As String = "urn:schemas:httpmail:messageflag IS NULL"
Const strS As String = "Inbox"
Dim rsts As Outlook.Results
Dim i As Integer
blnSearchComp = False
Const strF1 As String = "urn:schemas:mailheader:subject = 'Test'"
Const strS1 As String = "Inbox"
Set objSch = _
Application.AdvancedSearch(Scope:=strS1, Filter:=strF1, _
SearchSubFolders:=True, Tag:="FlagSearch")
