If I understand what you're asking, you cannot open a non-default contacts
folder using GetDefaultFolder. You either have to use GetFolderFromID or
iterate the Folders collection to get the folder you want. If it's not a
folder at the same level as Calendar you'd have to recursively iterate
folders from the top of store down to find the one you want.

This is code from my UO in Powerbuilder.
Everything works fine except for the last line. If the client is using
a Personal folder which they created such as ls_folder = "MYContacts"
I know this isn't a Powerbuilder group but was hoping for some help
with the folder items in Outlook.
If they are using the Default folder or a User Created folder in the
Public Folders the code below works fine.
BUT a User Created folder in the DefaultFolder(10) gets the error
"Error Calling External Function "item""
The code is the same except that ls_folder is the name of the user
created folder name stored in the database.
Public = ls_folder = "MyPublic_folders"
Personal = ls_folder = "MyPersonal_folder"

If ll_folder_class = 18 then
myFolder = olns_hold.GetDefaultFolder(18) //PUBLIC
FOLDERS
myNewFolder = myFolder.Folders.Item('' + ls_folder + '')
Else
If ls_folder = 'Contacts' Then
myNewFolder = olns_hold.GetDefaultFolder(10) //Non PUBLIC
FOLDERS
Else
myFolder = olns_hold.GetDefaultFolder(10) //Non DEFAULT
PUBLIC FOLDERS
myNewFolder = myFolder.Folders.Item('' + ls_folder + '')
End If
End IF
olns_hold =
iole_outlook.CreateItemFromTemplate(gnv_priorities .is_program_dir +
"samconimp.oft", myNewFolder)
