Ok, I broke down and bought “Programming Microsoft Outlook
2000” book - but
I still can’t find the solution to this question in it.

I am simply trying to create a folder called “test” inside
my default
contacts folder. Of course, I want to be able to do this
in other folders
too. Here is what I think it should be, but the compiler
doesn’t like it.
:slight_smile:

outlook = WIN32OLE.new("outlook.application")
oNameSpace = outlook.getNameSpace('MAPI');
@@contactFolder = oNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(10)
@@contactFolder.add("test", 10) # 10 is optional

I’ve only spent a few minutes on this and I haven’t done much OLE
programming before, but might you want the following:

@@contactFolder.Folders.Add(“test”, 10)

This worked for me.
