Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example displays all the Send\Receive groups set up for the user and starts the synchronization based on the user's response. The sub routine following the one below immediately stops the synchronization.

The syc variable is declared as a public variable so it can be referenced by both the sub routines.

Public syc As Outlook.SyncObject

Public Sub Sync()
    Dim nsp As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim sycs As Outlook.SyncObjects
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim strPrompt As Integer
    Set nsp = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set sycs = nsp.SyncObjects
    For i = 1 To sycs.Count
        Set syc = sycs.Item(i)
        strPrompt = MsgBox("Do you wish to synchronize " & syc.Name &"?", vbYesNo)
        If strPrompt = vbYes Then
            syc.Start
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Private Sub StopSync()
    MsgBox "Synchronization stopped by the user."
    syc.Stop
End Sub
