How do I access Outlook Public folders

Hi

I am using the following snippet below to read from a Outlook subfolder
which works well but how do I reference a Public subfolder

Works -
Dim oInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder =
oNS.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox)
SubFolder = oInbox.Folders("test")

How would I change this to reference the public folder located at -
/public folders/all public folders/internalcompany/scan

TIA
Dwight

With that syntax you are using VB.Net, not VB, so you are in the wrong
place.

You need to ask in a newsgroup with "dotnet" in the name. This group is for
VB 6.0 and earlier and does not include VB.Net or VB 200x.

Sorry, that was .NET code, the problem is within VB6. Do you know how I can
access a public folder (eg /public folders/all public
folders/internalcompany/scan) from VB6 code.

I can access the Inbox that I am logged in as but I do not know how to
access a public folder folder using VB6 (sp6).

Any assistance woul dbe greatly appreciated.

TIA
