SYMPTOMS
When users click twice on a folder, the folder's home page may not turn off.



CAUSE
This problem can occur because the folder is a public folder on a Microsoft Exchange Server computer.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods to switch to the view of the items:  Instruct the users of the folder to click the View menu, and then click Show Folder Home Page.  Add a custom button to the folder home page that enables users to toggle off the home page. The following Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) page illustrates how to create a button to do this:

My Toggle Page



Sub cmdToggle_onclick Set ol = Window.External.OutlookApplication Set cb = ol.ActiveExplorer.CommandBars.FindControl(,5432) cb.Execute Set cb = Nothing Set ol = Nothing End Sub









STATUS
The behavior is by design. A public folder solution developer needs more control over the user interface of the folder.



MORE INFORMATION
When you toggle the Show Folder Home Page command on the View menu, you also toggle the Show home page by default for this folder option in the folder properties. Therefore, if more than one user is given adequate permissions on the public folder, one user may affect the default setting for other users. To avoid this, grant the users of the folder Reviewer permissions. Then if those users toggle the menu command, the setting is not saved as one of the folder properties.
