CurrentFolder Property

Returns or sets a MAPIFolder object that represents the current folder displayed in the explorer. Use this property to change the folder the user is viewing.

expression    Required. An expression that returns an Explorer object.

Example

This Visual Basic for Applications example uses the CurrentFolder property to change the displayed folder to the user's Calendar folder.

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set myOlApp.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = _
    myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)

If you use VBScript, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript.

Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = _
    myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(9)
