Default Access sub-folder by command line (in existing Outlook-instance)

Hi,

I'm trying ty craete an Outlook Note (in Outlook 2007 on Win7) by using the
command "OUTLOOK.EXE" /select outlook:Temp_Notes /c ipm.stickynote". In
before I created the folder Inbox\Notes\Temp_Notes which I moved to Inbox.
Outlook starts a new instance of Outlook and creates a new note by default in
Inbox\Notes though. Probably this is defined in de form to which the
messageclass IPM.NOTE is attached to. Copying or editing the form is not
allowed.

My questions:
1. How to prevent Outlook starts a new instance using command line switches
like '/select'?
2. How to create a note in a sub-folder using command line switches?
3. In which way are the cfg-files in the folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office12\FORMS\1033" related to the creation and apperance of Outlook
items? In general, is a description available of the purpose of all installed
(Office/Outlook) configuration files and all the possible options insite them?

Kind regard,

Don

You'll need to use the entire path and not just the last folder name;
/select outlook:Inbox\Notes\Temp_Notes

To force the creation of a new item in a non-default folder you'll have to
use vbs or vba scripts.

The cfg-files only apply to form actions and properties. To design a form
use;
Tools- Forms- Design a Form
