Return value

Remarks
This method is most commonly used to create a Recipient object for use with the GetSharedDefaultFolder method, for example, to open a delegator's folder. It can also be used to verify a given name against an address book.
Example
This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the GetSharedDefaultFolder method to resolve the Recipient object representing Dan Wilson, and then returns Dan's shared default Calendar folder. To run this example, replace 'Dan Wilson' with a valid recipient name and make sure the calendar is shared and you have permissions to view the calendar.
Sub ResolveName()
Dim myNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myRecipient As Outlook.Recipient
Dim CalendarFolder As Outlook.Folder
Set myNamespace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myRecipient = myNamespace.CreateRecipient("Dan Wilson")
myRecipient.Resolve
If myRecipient.Resolved Then
Call ShowCalendar(myNamespace, myRecipient)
End If
End Sub
Sub ShowCalendar(myNamespace, myRecipient)
Dim CalendarFolder As Folder
Set CalendarFolder = _
myNamespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder _
(myRecipient, olFolderCalendar)
CalendarFolder.Display
End Sub
