Opening another user's folder via VB

Please post to only 1 or 2 groups.

Use the NameSpace.GetSharedDefaultFolder method and make sure your
login has permissions on the mailbox folder.

Hi there,

We're using OL2002 with Exchange2000.

I need to be able to open another user's folder from a Visual Basic COM
Add-In (specifically his Calendar folder), without having to add the other
user's mailbox via the Advanced exchange settings (which goes into the
folders list).

Does anyone know how to do it?

Much obliged,
Uri.

You can use the Namespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder method to return the folder.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba
