Copy File To Public Folder

I'm just learning about Exchange Public Folders. I know it's possible to email to files to a Public Folder and I'm sure I'll be able to accomplish this through VB.

However I have also read that you can copy files to a Public Folder from Windows Explorer. So I'm guessing that if you can do this manually you can also do it through VB. Is this the case?

I guess I'd need to know the 'path' to the public folder and then just copy my files? Is this correct?

Yes, you need to know the complete path to the Public folder and
its type (IPM.Note, IPM.ppointment,IPM.Contact, etc).

I have several examples on the Forums, try a search by my
username. You can copy over email messages, appointment
items, contactitems, etc. from your private Outlook folders to
Exchange Public folders.

You can only add Outlook items into Exchange/Outlook. Yes, they
do have shortcuts in the "Other Shortcuts" that allow you to
browse Windows Explorer folders, but you cant copy a dll file into
an email message type Outlook folder.

Let me know if you need help with the code you find.

RobDog888 cheers for the response. I have a few stupid questions:

1) What does IPM stand for?
2) I probably don't understand your answer, but if I have a file called C:\MyFile.TXT can I put that in a Public Folder. Rather than mailing to the Public Folder can I just copy it there? You may have answered this, apologies if you have! I don't get it.

I'll have a look for some of your code.

I forgot the ackronym but it the message class for the form.

IPM.NOTE is the default email message form.
IPM.Appointment is default Appointment item form.
etc.

You would have to mail it as an attachment (embedded or
attachment) in order to store it in an Outlook folder private or
public.
