Sub DispCalendars()
    Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim myNms As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim myFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Dim myRecipient As Outlook.Recipient
    Dim myExplorer As Outlook.Explorer
    Dim SharedFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    
    Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
        
    Set myNms = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set myFolder = myNms.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
    
    Set myExplorer = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer
    Set myExplorer.CurrentFolder = myFolder
