Option Explicit doesn't require that the data type be declared. It only requires the variable to be declared. If you must have a type for your sense of neatness (many people do!) you can declare it as an Object at the very least. I have no idea how Outlook likes to think of its folder collection but there's a chance that oFolder is of type Outlook.Folder .
