Trying to write a small VBA macro for OL2003 that always opens the SearchBar when in a contact folder. I am putting my code in the FolderSwitch event.

I am able to find the ID of the SearchBar in the menu, but cant find a property to tell if it is already showing (.visible always returns true, even if not showing). Is there a way to figure out the view state as my code is toggling the state.
Set objCBCtl = Application.ActiveExplorer.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=5592)
objCBCtl.Execute

Also as I side question, a client asked my and I couldn't answer, when the SearchBar is showing and you type in some text why soemtimes do you have to hit enter once to start the search and other times hit it 2 or 3 times? I have had the same problem, but cant figure out if it is a focus issue or something else.
 
On the second question, it shouldn't work like that. I'm not sure if its a focus thing or just that the enter key is not registering. It has happened to me too.

Diane is on vacation this week and she (or someone else) will need to the other question.
 
I'm only half back from vacation this week. I was hoping to 4 hours of work in this morning but was lucky to get 2 hours in.

Have you seen this? To show the Find pane when you switch to a Contacts folder in Microsoft Outlook

This is supposed to work but its not working for me. I tried all variations of testing the state - <>, buttondown...

Code: 
With objCBCtl 
 
If objCBCtl.State = msoButtonUp Then 
 
> Execute 
 
End If 
 
End With
 
it does work! Thanks

Private Sub OutlookApp_FolderSwitch()
Dim objCBCtl As CommandBarControl
Set objCBCtl = Application.ActiveExplorer.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=5592)
If objCBCtl.State <> -1 Then objCBCtl.Execute

Set objCBCtl = Nothing
Set objFolder = Nothing
