Re: Convert MAPI.folder object to Outlook.MAPIFolder object

[Alex]

How do you convert MAPI.folder (CDO) to Outlook folder and vice versa?
Also, does VBScript only recognize Outlook.MAPIFolder object?

Thanks,
Alex

The two object models share their EntryID and StoreID properties, so you can use Outlook's Namespace.GetFolderFromID or CDO's Session.GetFolder to get one from the properties of the other.

You can use CDO in VBSCript.

Sue, thanks for the reply.

I have folder structure like

My Folder
Folder 1

Once I have a MAPI.Folder reference (oFolder) to Folder 1, I called

Set folder = gNS.GetFolderFromID(ofolder.FolderID, _
ofolder.StoreID)

But, the folder it returned is "My Folder". Do you know why? How do I get
the "Folder 1"?

Thanks,
Alex

How did you get the MAPI.Folder reference to Folder 1?

I found out the problem. I should have used ofolder.ID instead of
ofolder.FolderID

Thanks,
