Name Property

Returns or sets the display name for an object in the Applies To list. The Name property is also the caption for a form. Read/write depending on the object.

expression**.Name**

*expression    * Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Note  The Name property must be set before you can use the PublishForm method. It is also necessary for the Name property to be set before calling the Details method.

Example

This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the Name property to obtain the name of the folder displayed in the active explorer.

Sub DisplayCurrentFolderName()
    Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim myExplorer As Outlook.Explorer
    Dim myFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set myExplorer = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer
    Set myFolder = myExplorer.CurrentFolder
    MsgBox myFolder.Name
End Sub

If you use Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in a Microsoft Outlook form, you do not create the Application object. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.

Sub CommandButton1_Click()
 Set myExplorer = Application.ActiveExplorer
 Set myFolder = myExplorer.CurrentFolder
 MsgBox myFolder.Name
End Sub
