Cascading Custom View to SubFolders

K

Katrin

Hi there,

I am creating a knowledge share(ks) under Public Folders.

The ks folder will have many subfolders(with subfolders(with subfolders)).

User permissions replicate perfectly, but I can't figure out how replicate
the 'custom view' to all subfolders. If I ever change the view in the
future, the work load will be nuts!

Any ideas?

Much appreciated!

I don't know how to do this in any automated fashion, but I have to ask why
you need so many nested subfolders. Have you looked into using categories &
views instead?

By saving the XML of the view to the file system as a view.xml file and then
reading it in and assigning Folder.GetExplorer.CurrentView the view would
become current for that folder. To add the view to the folder you would get
the Folder.Views collection and add your XML to that collection using the
Add method. That would work for Outlook 2002 and 2003.

There should be information on custom views at www.outlookcode.com

Each subfolder will have a different structure. My users want freedom of
using a tree structure. I am using public folders for our knowledge
management system. (Wish management would fund a better software package).
