I have created an email folder within my MAPI Mailbox in addition to
the default Inbox, Tasks, Calendar and what not. I have not been able
to find a way through VBA to sucessfully move to that folder. I've
sucessfully moved to the default Inbox or Calendar but not to the email
folder named "Test" using syntax like:

Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = _
Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

Does anyone have any suggestions or hints that will help me move to a
non-default folder?

Thanx,

Chuck R

To get a non-default folder, you need to walk the folder hierarchy using the Folders collections or use a function that does that for you. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getfolder.htm
