 Accessing Public Folder Resources?

Hi all,

    I have a problem that is:

        I want to create an Server Exchange Folder report  from the
information that is on the Public Folder Resources under the Public
Information Store, but I cannot access the Public Information Store or the
Public Folder Resources.

        I would apreciate very much if someone could help me on this.

    Thank you

What happens when you try? Are you talking about seeing these in Exchange admin or from
within Outlook?

Please don't post to so many groups - one or two is probably sufficient.

 Accessing Public Folder Resources?
Well, I created an schedule script that runs in the Exchange server 5.5 and
its suppose to create an csv file containing the information that is on the
Public Folder Resources, which i can see through the Exchange Admin, but
somehow the file is created with no information in.
This is the code that I use, so please if you could help me in this I will
be very much appreciated. What is wrong in here????

 Accessing Public Folder Resources?
Hmmm - I must say that my VB knowledge is very, very slim, but does the account it's using
have permissions in the public folders themselves? That's the only thing I can think of.

You might want to post this in the microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba group... good
luck.
