Some people have so many folders that they've got problems to find them. And with a deep hierarchy of folders it can also be a pain to click through all of them in order to activate a certain folder.
This example finds a folder by its name, and you can choose to get the found folder activated.
You can either enter the full name, or use wildcards. '*' and '%' are allowed as wildcards. Upper/lower cases will be ignored.
Copy the code into the module 'ThisOutlookSession'. For instance, it can be started by pressing alt+f8. |
Private m_Folder As Outlook.MAPIFolder

If Len(Trim$(Name)) = 0 Then Exit Sub
m_Find = Name

m_Wildcard = (InStr(m_Find, "*"))
