changing the contact folder to something other than the default

[Guest]

I have 4 or 5 different folder with contacts in Outlook 2003 and use vba code
different times to access the contacts. I always have to temperarily move my
contacts out of the main contact folder, then move the contacts from another
folder into the main contact folder because that's where my code gets it's
data. Is there a way to tell the code to use another folder that I've made
in my personal folders file. If so, would there be a method of checking the
names of all the contact folders I have, and setting them as an text array or
something, then I could use the code to ask me specifically which contact
folder I'm wanting to work with. I could have this all be as a function I'd
call from different procedures.
thanks,
ck

To get a non-default folder, you need to walk the folder hierarchy using the Folders collections or use a function that does that for you. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getfolder.htm and, especially for public folders, http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1164
