By saving the XML of the view to the file system as a view.xml file and then
reading it in and assigning Folder.GetExplorer.CurrentView the view would
become current for that folder. To add the view to the folder you would get
the Folder.Views collection and add your XML to that collection using the
Add method. That would work for Outlook 2002 and 2003.

There should be information on custom views at www.outlookcode.com
