How To Refer To Custom Folder in VBA

Hello Outlook Group:

I am trying to reference a CUSTOM user folder at the same level as all the
other folders:

For example, I have a folder called MyEmails that appears in the Outlook
tree as follows:

Calendar
Contacts
Deleted Items
Drafts
Inbox
MyEmails

The VBA code I'm using from Access works for the Inbox, but fails on the
MAPI setup of the MyEmails Folder:

Set Inbox = OlApp.GetNamespace("Mapi").GetDefaultFolder(olFold erInbox)
Set MyEmailFolder = OlApp.GetNamespace("Mapi").Folders("MyEmail")

I don't want to the the GetDefaultFolder because it isn't one. Does anyone
know the code to create the Namespace for "MyEmail"?

Thanks,
Rich Locus

How To Refer To Custom Folder in VBA

I finally came up with the code to do this... I had to refer to the Parent
directory of the Inbox:

Set MyEmailFolder =
OlApp.GetNamespace("Mapi").GetDefaultFolder(olFold erInbox).Parent.Folders("MyEmail")
