Update Contact Items in Exchange Public Folders

[Ian Pendlebury]

We have several folders under the Exchange "Public
Folders" tree. These folders contain items with User-
Defined fields. One of these fields needs to be updated on
a daily basis

Can I write a macro within Outlook 2000 to programtically
go through these folders, open each item and update the
field, then save and close the item.

In particular, what is the syntax for referencing the
public folders from within Outlook.

Or is there a better to do this?

TIA

To get a non-default folder, you need to walk the folder hierarchy using the Folders collections or use a function that does that for you. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/code/getfolder.htm
