Thank you very much Kevin for very good explanation. I am trying to apply it now.<br />

If you have Redemption (an Outlook Add-In that makes accessing Outlook objects a whole lot easier and avoids the security issues), then to obtain a folder given a full path, use the Session object's GetFolderFromPath method as illustrated below.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Dim Session As New Redemption.rdoSession<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Dim Folder As Redemption.RDOFolder<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Session.Logon , , , False, False<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Set Folder = Session.GetFolderFromPath(<wbr />&quot;\\Persona<wbr />l Folders\Inbox&quot;)<br />

I am getting an error at:<br />
<br />
Public Function GetOutlookFolder(ByVal FolderPath As Variant) As Outlook.Folder<br />
<br />
&quot;User-defined type not defined&quot;<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

<div>
With<br />
<br />
Public Function GetOutlookFolder() 'ByVal FolderPath As Variant) As Outlook.Folder<br />
<br />
I get the same error at:<br />
<br />
Dim OutlookFolder As Outlook.Folder<br />
<br />
?<br />

<div>
You need to include a reference to the Outlook library.<br />
<br />

<div>
I already have:<br />
<br />
Microsoft Outlook11.0 Object Library<br />
<br />
In my reference list checked. Do I need to include another one?<br />
<br />
Mike
</div>


<div>
That should work. Are you sure you activated the reference in the right VBA project? Was one of the source files from that project open when you did?<br />
<br />
Kevin
</div>


<div>
I have only one application open and &quot;Microsoft Outlook11.0 Object Library&quot; is checked. Now I am trying with:<br />
<br />
Public Function GetOutlookFolder(ByVal FolderPath As Variant) As Object ' Outlook.Folder<br />
&nbsp; <br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Dim OutlookFolder As Object 'Outlook.Folder<br />
.<br />
.<br />
<br />
until later we can figure out why it is not working. &nbsp;&quot; As Object &quot;&nbsp;complies okay.<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
That will work just as well...but I'm curious why the library type library is not accessible.<br />
<br />
Kevin
</div>


<div>
I have some existing code using Outlook and it shows &quot;As Object&quot; used throughout. I will keep it as it is until I figured it some day.<br />

Hi Kevin,<br />
<br />
I located the following post in another question which seems very much what we were dealing with in this question as to why &quot;Dim OutlookFolder As Object&quot; is working but not &quot;Dim OutlookFolder As Outlook.Folder&quot;. Following seems to be very similar:<br />
<br />
From another post:<br />
&quot;The above code uses early binding, you can use late binding in that case you do not need to add the reference to Outlook and it will work with each version of Outlook.<br />
<br />
Change:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Dim ObjOL As New Outlook.Application, objMail As mailitem<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Set objMail = ObjOL.CreateItem(olMailIte<wbr />m)<br />
<br />
to:<br />
&nbsp; Dim ObjOL As Object<br />
&nbsp; Dim objMail As Object<br />
<br />
&nbsp; Set ObjOL = CreateObject(&quot;Outlook.Appl<wbr />ication&quot;)<br />
&nbsp; Set objMail = ObjOL.CreateItem(olMailIte<wbr />m)<br />
&quot;<br />

I have folder names in Outlook. To access each folder using code like:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;folder constants ---------v<br />
Set obj_inbox = obj_ns.GetDefaultFolder(ol<wbr />FolderInbo<wbr />x)<br />
<br />
I need the folder constants like olFolderInbox for &quot;\\Mailbox - Eghtebas, Mike\Inbox&quot;.<br />
<br />
How can I find these constants for each of the folders I have (like &quot;\\Mailbox - Eghtebas, Mike\Sent Items&quot;, &quot;\\Mailbox - Eghtebas, Mike\HR&quot;, etc.)?<br />
<br />
Is it possible to use something like:<br />
<br />
Set obj_inbox = obj_ns.GetDefaultFolder(&quot;\<wbr />\Mailbox - Eghtebas, Mike\Inbox&quot;) instead of olFolderInbox?<br />
<br />
Thank you.

How can I find Outlook folder constants...

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
