Creating Contacts in a Public Folder
It did not return any error message - all i did is added an extra folder to
the path. As for the types, they are the same both levels are contact
folders. What I am trying to do is create folders based on certain groups
then create the contacts in those groups. I do know before I started using
the Outlook Object Model, I was using CDO and it would create the contact
in the correct folder. No matter if it was a parent of subfolder. The
problem I had with CDO is the business fax information would not show up in
the Address book for the contacts. Only the email addresses. Hince I
started using the Outlook Model and it works great other than the wrong
folder. Man this is getting crazy. Finally - Not sure if it matters or
not, I used CDO to create the subfolder level I am trying to create the
contacts for. I believe the Partent Level was created manually. Would that
cause the problem. If so how would I add the folder below the parent using
the Outlook Object Model.
