Example
This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the CopyTo method to copy the default Contacts folder to the default Inbox folder.
Sub CopyFolder()
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myInboxFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim myContactsFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim myNewFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myInboxFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myContactsFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
Set myNewFolder = myContactsFolder.CopyTo(myInboxFolder)
End Sub
If you use Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in a Microsoft Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.
Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set myInboxFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(6)
Set myCurrentFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(10)
Set myNewFolder = myCurrentFolder.CopyTo(myInboxFolder)
