Standard Toolbard & The Outlook View Control

[Guest]

I've created a custom home page using the Outlook View Control to replace my
Outlook Today. The page contains three instances of the control to allow my
inbox, tasks and calendar to be displayed simultaneously.

The problem that I'm having is that as I move between the controls selecting
different items, the Standard Tool bar does not update to reflect that I've
changed to a different folder. As such the buttons that vary, do not change.
In otherwords, when I change from the control displaying the Inbox to the
control displaying the Calendar, the toolbar retains the Reply/Reply to
All/Forward buttons disabling them instead of switching over to displaying
the Today/Day/Work Week/Week/Month buttons.

Any ideas?

This is normal behavior. The toolbar is context-sensitive to Explorer.CurrentFolder, not to any folders that might be displayed in an OVC on a folder home page. You could add code to your FHP to set Explorer.CurrentFolder when you switch to a different folder in the FHP. Viewing a different folder in the Explorer would, of course, turn off the FHP, so you'd need to set the viewed folder's WebViewURL and WebViewOn properties as well.
