Hi guys
I'm in need of urgent help to write a macro to search for text and find the folder.
That's right not the email instance but the Outlook Folder on the side of the screen.
Imagine having hundreds of Folders on the side of outlook and inside the folders are a bunch of emails.
I need a macro that I can add a button. Click on the button a pop up pops up prompting me to type in some text.
Then the macro searches through the folders and opens up the folder.
Guys at work gave me tips:
"You get the Folders collection using this:
Application.GetNamespace(“MAPI”).GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders
Then you can use the properties GetFirst and GetNext to iterate. These return a Folder object.
One of the properties of a Folder object is Name. So you can use that to compare against the folder name that you are searching for.

However, I am still clueless as how to start this macro....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
