GetPublicFolder() function

[Morgan]

ok I'm very new to programing in Outlook. I have a custom form with 3
command buttons on it and I want to use the GetPublicFolder() function but
not sure how to call the function for each button or if it needs to be
inside the Sub for each button see code below




Public Function GetPublicFolder()

Dim colFolders
Dim objFolder
Dim arrFolders
Dim i
On Error Resume Next
strFolderPath = Replace(strFolderPath, "/", "\")
arrFolders = Split(strFolderPath, "\")

Set objFolder = Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(18)
Set objFolder = objFolder.Folders.Item(arrFolders(0))
If Not objFolder Is Nothing Then
For i = 1 To UBound(arrFolders)
Set colFolders = objFolder.Folders
Set objFolder = Nothing
Set objFolder = colFolders.Item(arrFolders(i))
If objFolder Is Nothing Then
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
Set GetPublicFolder = objFolder
Set colFolders = Nothing
Set objApp = Nothing
Set objFolder = Nothing
End Function

The syntax for calliing any function includes doing something with the result that the function returns, usually setting a variable's value. Since this function returns an object, you must use the Set keyword. Also, the function's sole parameter -- the path to the folder -- must be a string. Since you're using string literals, you must enclose them in quotation marks, for example:

Set publicJournalFolder = GetPublicFolder("Public Folders\All Public Folders\Construction\Project Journals\")
Set newJournalItem = publicJournalFolder.Items.Add
