Hi

I would like to open the "Advanced Find"-Dialog from within Outlook
VBA.
If possible I would also like to already set some search parameters
(e.g. the folder to search in, to not only search in subject fields but
in regularly used textfields), so the user only has to type some other
parameters and can then start searching.
I know the function Application.AdvancedSearch(...), but I would really
like to open the Outlook built-in Dialog to the user, so he can refine
search parameters and start searching.

Could anyone help me out with some code samples?

Thanks alot for your help in advance!

What you want can't be done. The best you could do probably would be to use
CommandBars techniques to execute the menu/toolbar item that displays the
Advanced Find dialog. The Outlook object model does not, however, provide a
way to preset any of the options in that dialog (although it might be done
with a SendKeys kludge -- not a solution I'd ever give to users).
