Delete Outlook Task in code

[Freshman]

Hi all,

I find it easy enough to create an Outlook Task in code, but
how do I go about deleting an Outlook Task (based on criteria) in code?
(Google did not help much)

Thanks

I tried this code but not working:

Public Function DelTasks()
Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim Itm As Outlook.TaskItem
Set oOutlook = CreateObject("outlook.application")
Set Itm = oOutlook.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
Set oNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oDefaultFolder = oNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks)
For Each Itm In oDefaultFolder
Itm.Delete
Next
End Function

The idea of creating anything in outlook is to add your own ID to a field when creating it, then to delete it you search for this ID. Do a search in the forum for my name you will find a number of examples probably with the calendar but the concept is the same. Search for the word mileage as I use this field.

Thanks a lot I did come right. And thanks for the tips yes - I do use the category and the person's staff number to make sure I only delete the relevant tasks.
