Reference Exchange Public Folder in vb.net

[Chris Thunell]

I have some vb.net code that goes and gets some information from our
Contacts Public folder named "Pierce Contacts". As you see from the code
below, i reference this folder by first navigating to the folder in outlook.
Is there any way to reference the public folder programatically .
The exchange public folder is under
"Public Folders"
"All Public Folders"
"Pierce Contacts"

Sample code:
ol = New outlook.Applica tion
olns = ol.getnamespace ("MAPI")
***-> olFolder = ol.activeexplor er.currentfolde r <-****** 'currentfolder'
CurFolder = olFolder.name
AllItems = olFolder.items
NumItems = AllItems.count
For Each Itm In AllItems
'do some stuff here
Next

To get a non-default folder, you need to walk the folder hierarchy using the Folders collections, starting with Namespace.Folde rs, or use a function that does that for you. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getfolder.htm for a VB example that should give you the basic idea.
