My latest project has me looking to try and get a count from a mailbox I am delegated for access on. Since I am not able to add in the mailbox to my profile (do not have full access) and have listed on the left side of the Outlook screen I need to go into File option, Open & Export, Other Users Folders to open the other person inbox. I was trying to see if I could use a VBA for this and pull back data on the mailbox. Since I don’t have the users inbox listed on the profile and I cannot find a ‘fast path’ way to opening this option I was going to use Send Key. However I cannot seem to get the Send Keys to work in outlook. Anyone have any ideas on this? Here is the code I have started but get an error, Run-time error 438, object doesn’t support the property or method. Is it possible to use Send Keys or can I use another method to get the user inbox opened?

Sub sendkey()


Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objnSpace As Object
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objnSpace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")

objOutlook.SendKeys "%{F}"


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
I gave up on the send key option and now trying to use another option to open a default folder. Not having any luck with this either.
Dim objOutlook As Object, objnSpace As Object, objFolder As Object
Dim EmailCount As Integer
Dim AttCount As Integer
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objnSpace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
On Error Resume Next
Set objFolder = objnSpace.GetSharedDefaultFolder("user.name@any.com").Folders("inbox")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Err.Clear
MsgBox "No such folder."
Exit Sub
End If
