Can I programatically create a search folder for my users?

I would like to be able to programatically create search folders for all of
my users. Is there a way to do this? We are going to be trying to phase in
an email archive solution. I would like to use the search folders to help
our users focus on archiving existing email based on age. For example, the
first stage may be asking them to focus on all email older than 2 years.
Having a search folder that identifies all email older than 2 years would be
a great help. They would be given a set amount of time to focus on getting
the old messages archived before moving on to newer items. Rather than
requiring all users to create their own search folders, I would like to be
able to roll them out automatically somehow as needed.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

In principle, yes. You might start with the VBA help and look for the
AdvancedSearch function. If you get that running, it returns a Search
object, which can be saved.
