Dear all,

In Outlook you can attached more than one PST file and withn a PST more than 
one contactsfolders.

I presume that it must be possible to get a list of these PST files (That I 
know how to do) but I want to get the names of the contactfolders. When you 
know the folders I want to select the folders for updating contacts. When a 
folder doesn't exist I want to make a folder within a specific PST file.

All examples I find are based on one PST file and one contactsfolder.

I cannot find somewhere an overview of methods within Outlook.

So I hope someone can me give the missing information.

i do not think that you can access a *.PST "direct", this handle by Outlook.

constante "olFolderContacts" is use to attach contact folder.
you can have groups within contact folder.

as i can say you only can access "active" folder not "Backup" PST or other 
PST files

Jimmy,

I have found a way to get a list of all PST and the folders with those PST. 
My only problem is now how to detect what the type of the folders are. I get 
a list of all folders including mail, appointments and so on.

as i say you have to use Constante ( using Tlb2Ch.exe )

 Enumeration OlDefaultFolders
#DEFINE olFolderDeletedItems                                               3
#DEFINE olFolderOutbox 
4
#DEFINE olFolderSentMail 
5
#DEFINE olFolderInbox 
6
#DEFINE olFolderCalendar 
9
#DEFINE olFolderContacts 
10
#DEFINE olFolderJournal 
11
#DEFINE olFolderNotes 
12

to switch to a Folder

   oNameSpace  := ::oOutlook:GetNamespace( "MAPI" )
   ::oContacts := oNameSpace:getDefaultFolder( olFolderContacts )

if you pick a Folder from "List of Folder" you can try

   oMyFolder := oNameSpace:PickFolder()

Appointment are a Items of Calender

   ::oAppointment := ::oNameSpace:getDefaultFolder( olFolderCalendar ) 
:Items
