The simplest way to process a folder other than the one you're currently
looking at is to use the Namespace.PickFolder method to display the built-in
folder picker dialog and return the folder that the user choosers. Then, you
can process each item in the folder, for example:
On Error Resume Next
Set myFolder = Application.Session.PickFolder()
If Not myFolder Is Nothing Then
For Each itm in myFolder.Items
Call NoMoreManual(itm)
Next
End If
