Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1.Click your Contacts folder.
2.Run the following Outlook Visual Basic for Applications code:
Sub DisplayFolderHomePage()
   Set oFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
   oFolder.WebViewURL = "http://www.microsoft.com"
   oFolder.WebViewOn = True
   ' Set ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
   ' Set ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = oFolder
   Set oFolder = Nothing
End Sub
					
Note that the folder does not show the home page.

3.Remove the home page from the folder. To do this, right-click the Contacts folder, and then click Properties. On the Home Page tab, click Restore Defaults, and then click OK.
4.Uncomment the two commented lines of the preceding code.
5.Run the code again.
The result is that the folder displayed is still the Calendar folder.
