expression**.CurrentFolder**
*expression * Required. An expression that returns an Explorer object.
Example
This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the CurrentFolder property to change the displayed folder to the user's Calendar folder.
Sub ChangeCurrentFolder()
Dim myolApp As Outlook.Application
Dim myNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
Set myolApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNamespace = myolApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myolApp.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = _
myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
End Sub
If you use Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in a Microsoft Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.
Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = _
myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(9)
