Default Opening an Outlook public folder from Excel using a command button...

Looking for a way to open a specific outlook folder when a user clicks
on a command button in Excel. If Outlook is not currently running, I
also need the code to launch Outlook and then go to the specified
folder. Is this possible?

Anyone any ideas please?

Many thanks for your time.

Rob.

My macro knowledge isn't great, but an alternative option may be to
create a hyperlink. (This is something that I use regularly and works
for me).

I am assuming that the public folder is always available.
Copy the hyperlink address in outlook then insert the hyperlink to a
cell in excel.
I'm sure someone will come up with the coding sooner or later, but for
the time being this might work just as well for you.
