GetInfoStore Method (Session Object)

The GetInfoStore method returns an InfoStore object that can be used to navigate through both public folders and the user’s personal folders.

Syntax

Set objInfoStore = objSession.GetInfoStore(storeID)

objInfoStore

On successful return, contains the InfoStore object with the specified identifier. When the InfoStore object does not exist, GetInfoStore returns Nothing.

objSession

Required. The Session object.

storeID

Optional. String. Specifies the unique identifier of the InfoStore object to retrieve. If storeID is an empty string or is not supplied, the default InfoStore for the session is returned.

Remarks

The GetInfoStore method allows you to obtain any message store for which you know the ID property. Within the message store you can then obtain any child Folder object for which you know the ID property.

Dim strInfoStoreID as String ' ID as hex string 
Dim objInfoStore As InfoStore 
    If strInfoStoreID = "" Then 
        MsgBox ("Must first set string variable to InfoStore ID") 
        Exit Function 
    End If 
    Set objInfoStore = objSession.GetInfoStore( _ 
                                  storeID:=strInfoStoreID) 
    ' error handling ... 
    MsgBox "InfoStore set to " & objInfoStore.Name
