How do I create outlook contacts in different folders with VB.NET

Question

We have a VB.2010 program that can add contacts to outlook.

The program is that we cannot control which contact folder.

I noticed that there is an olContact.Account but it is not clear that that is. Putting the folder name (string) into it doesn't help.

The olContact save does not have any operands.

The SaveAs does not seem to work. SaveAs(pFolderName) does nothing that I can see. The intellisense as it should be the path but not sure what type of path. Putting in "Z:\Test\x.txt" does ave it to that file but is not what I want.

So how do I create a contact in a particular contracts folder?

What I have tried:

OlContact.Account = folder
Save()

SaveAs(Folder)

where folder = Contacts - email@email.com

GetContactsFolder()

How does GetContactsFolder help create a contact in a specific folder?

Where would I use it? In the OlContact? In the SaveAs?

Read the documentation for that method, its siblings, and its parents.

I did. Doesn't tell me much about what I need to do.

The AddressLists may give me folders but I still do not know how to set the folder when creating the contact. THe AddressLists.GetFolder does not even show all the folders in my contacts. I have 5 folders. AddressLists gives me a count of 4 and 2 for just 'contacts'.

Just doesn't add up for me.

Can you please give me a concrete example how to add a contact to different folders?
