GetExplorer Method Example

This Visual Basic for Applications example uses the GetExplorer method to return a new, inactive Explorer for myFolder, and then displays it in the default mode of olFolderDisplayNormal.

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myExplorer = myFolder.GetExplorer
myExplorer.Display

If you use VBScript, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript.

Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(6)
Set myExplorer = myFolder.GetExplorer
myExplorer.Display
