I used the Namespace.PickFolder object to retrieve the path of an Outlook Folder eg: "\\Personal Folders\Inbox"

In case i did not open outlook, When i try to launch the "Select Folder" dialog from a form(Source Form) it is opened the popup up above the source form .But if i opened the outlook before launching the "Select Folder" dialog it is minimizing the source form and it opened the popup up above outlook.

But i need the "Select Folder" popup should be shown above the source form even though the Outlook is already opened.

You need to retrieve the zorder of the outlook window, and make your form's zorder to be higher (by 1).

No, I don't know exactly how you would do this, but I would bet it involves interop services.

I cannot guarantee this will work, but it's something to try.

Google is your friend.
