Switch view to Folder List
I'm trying to write some macros to help people using public folder
favourites on Outlook 2003 - which are a real pain to get to: switch to folder list view, scroll down, open lots of windows etc. I know enough about the Outlook API to get a MAPIFolder and do Outlook.ActiveExplorer.SelectFolder Folder. This works if the "Folder List" view is selected first. Doesn't work if the "Mailbox" or "Calendar" view is applied (or any other view). How do you change the current view to the "Folder List" from VBA? I suspect it's some method against ActiveExplorer but the problem with not doing Outlook API stuff very often, is that I don't know the entire model. Thanks, Rob.

Switch view to Folder List
How do you change the current view to the "Folder List" from VBA? I
suspect it's some method against ActiveExplorer but the problem with not doing Outlook API stuff very often, is that I don't know the entire model. Okay, got this bit sorted: Application.ActiveExplorer.ShowPane olFolderList, True Application.ActiveExplorer.SelectFolder Folder However, whilst the focus is on the Favourites folder, it's often way down the bottom. Is there a way to scroll down the folder list to force an item into view? Thanks, Rob.

Switch view to Folder List
You cannot scroll the folder list display. What you can do is set ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder to show a particular folder, which should highlight it also in the folder list:
Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = Folder There is no SelectFolder method. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Rob Nicholson" wrote in message ...
