Initial View of a Public folder

[Artem]

How can I set the Initial View of a Public folder
programmatically?

I can't find a property for this on Folder or View objects.

I dug just a little bit with Outlook Spy: Two MAPI properties seem to be
related to this -- PR_DefaultViewEntryID (0x36160102) and
PR_FOLDER_XVIEWINFO_E (0x36E00102), both binary in OL2003. As MAPI
properties, they cannot be set with the Outlook object model, but you can
access them with Redemption or CDO. See http://www.cdolive.com/cdo10.htm if
you're not familiar with MAPI property tags.

What if I use CurrentView property and set the current
view (not use the initial view)?

Is that view going to be seen by users or it will be set
only for me?

Exactly. That's your current view. It doesn't affect anyone else.

Thanks for your quick response. For now I went with the
old fashioned way (manually), but will try the CDO in the
future.
