Get contacts from Public folder

[Oggy]

Hi,

I have the following code that gets my contacts from outlook and lists
then in a listbox on a form to select one.
Please advise how i can change the code to get other contacts from a
public folder, This is also as a favorite folder in Outlook

Thanks in advance

Regards

Oggy

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oContact As Outlook.ContactItem
Dim oContactFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim oContactItems As Outlook.Items
Dim oNS As Outlook.Namespace
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim arr()


With Me.ComboBox1
.ColumnCount = 3
.ColumnWidths = "175 pt;150 pt;200 pt"
.TextColumn = -1

End With


On Error GoTo XIT
Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set oNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oContactFolder = oNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
Set oContactItems = oContactFolder.Items


With Me
For i = 1 To oContactItems.Count
If oContactItems.Item(i).Class = olContact Then
Set oContact = oContactItems.Item(i)
If oContact.Categories = "Customer " Then
j = j + 1
ReDim Preserve arr(0 To 2, 1 To j)
With oContact
arr(0, j) = .CompanyName
arr(1, j) = .FullName
arr(2, j) = .BusinessAddress
End With
End If
End If
Next i


Me.ComboBox1.List() = Application.Transpose(arr)


End With


XIT:
Set oContact = Nothing
Set oContactItems = Nothing
Set oContactFolder = Nothing
Set oNS = Nothing
Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub

Instead of using Namespace.GetDefaultFolder, you need to drill down the
folder hierarchy starting with the Namespace.Folders collection
