Developer Forum

I want to have a block of code inside an Outlook form that will check whether
the folder from which the form is opened is "Sent Items" and if it is run
some code, and if not, run some other code.
Could someone pls tell me how to do this?

I wonder if you're a little confused about the difference between forms and items. A form is a UI/code template. An item is a data record. How an item displays in its own window depends on the form associated with that item.

So, with that background, what is it that you're trying to find out when you refer to "the folder from which the form is opened"? Two choices:

1) the folder that the user currently looking at when they create a new item using a custom form

2) the folder where the item being opened is stored

I am referring to the folder where the item being opened is stored...

So you're opening an existing item and want to know what folder that item resides in? In that case, use the item's Parent property.

Lovely idea and it works well. Let me share the code with everyone on this
forum. Here's what I've done:
'*****************************************
Set Page = Item.getinspector.modifiedformpages("Message")
Set myControls = Page.Controls
'Hides or displays "Finance Use Only" tab depending where the item is opened
from...
Select Case Item.Parent.Name
Case "Awaiting Approval", "Closed", "Open", "Researching",
"Commission Payment Issues"
myControls("MultiPage1").Item(1).visible = True
Case Else
myControls("MultiPage1").Item(1).visible = False
End Select
'*****************************************
Many thanks
