access 2002: Is there a way to create a command button to go to a specific
email folder in outlook?

Define "go to".
Why not simply click on that folder in Outlook?

There is a central CLIENT list maintained in Access. From there, command
buttons open explorer, then opens the corresponding word processing folder
for that client. I'd like to add a button that opens Outlook, then opens the
corresponding client folder where they store emails for that client.

You would need to be able to enumerate the Outlook folders, and select
the right one. You'd have to be sure that those Outlook folders are
named EXACTLY LIKE the client list in Access. Assuming this is all
true, some Outlook Automation should be able to do this.

In the past I have used this excellent utility: www.dimastr.com/outspy
to inspect properties of any Outlook object.

Thank you Tom. I appreciate your suggestion, even though it is way over my
head! I googled "enumerate the Outlook folders" and saw the code, and
downloaded and installed the outspy. But its all over my head. Thanks anyway!
