Accessing Outlook personal folder through VB

[johnnygeo]

I am using VB to read in the contents of an Outlook mail folder which is stored in a separate .pst file. I am able to read emails in from my inbox and from subfolders of my inbox, but I can't see how to get to a folder in a different folder set.

The folder name is "SurveysUnprocessed" and the .pst is c:\STG.pst

I guess it should look like this:

Set myOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNS = myOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set mySurveyFolder = myNS.getFolderFromID(???????)

but how do I find the ID of this folder?

Oh, I got it.

Set myNS = myOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myPSTFolder = myNS.Folders("Personal Folders")
Set mySurveyFolder = myPSTFolder.Folders("SurveysUnprocessed")
