macro needs info on currently highlighted message in search folder

[tbone]

I created a search folder, "Messages Sent Or Received Prior To 2008)
by using the Advanced Search and creating a query. The list of
messages is shown, including just the lowest level folder name.

I can navigate through the messages, and I'd like write a macro to
show the full folder path of the currently selected (not opened)
message, because I have many dozens of folders and they're not all
named uniquely at the lowest level.

Can this be done?

Thanks
tbone

Show it where? Outlook version?

Oops...

Show it where? Outlook version?

I'm using Outlook 2003. I'd like to just pop up the full path of the
parent folder in a msgbox.

BTW, love the book! It inspired me to be a programmin' fool the last
few days. I've done a lot of VBA in Excel but hardly any in Outlook
until now.

Thx

I don't have your earlier post. (Please, please quote earlier posts so
people using newsreader software can follow the conversation.) But if I
remember correctly, you'd use something like this:

MsgBox Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection(1).FolderPath

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming
issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web
interface, at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba

Sue,

1. Thanks very much for continuing to visit the group; I'm glad to see
you're still willing to spend time with Outlook.

2. I'm so used to using Agent, which saves and threads everything for
me, that I didn't recognize that some people might not always have the
prior messages available. I will do the "quote and <snip>" thing in
the future (because I really think having to scroll down 400 lines to
see replies is a lot worse than top-posting).

3. For some reason, I didn't see the Outlook VBA group on my news
server originally. Thanks for pointing that out; I refreshed and am
now subscribed to a few more Outlook groups.

4. Your memory serves you very well. Not only was that exactly what I
was looking for, but your solution works perfectly!

Thank you very much!
