See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=84 for a code sample. Note that AddStore would be used to open a .pst file that the user is not already using. For one already in use in the current profile, you'd access it as you would any other store or non-default folders -- through the Namespace.Folders collection.

Could you show me how to use Namespace.AddStore to open .pst file?

No, it's not possible. You would instead use the Namespace.AddStore method to open the .pst file. Note, though, that Microsoft supports only ...pst files on local drives, not network access.

We archive old email in PST files to get them off exchange. if a user has
several mailbox's open it's no problem to get access to their folders via
GetSharedDefaultFolder, however if a user has an outlook data file open (PST)
i can't see a way to get access to it via GetSharedDefaultFolder, i can't
resolve the name. should this be possible?
Thanks,
Steve
