Create an Appointment as a Meeting on the Calendar
This topic shows a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) procedure, CreateAppt
, that programmatically creates an appointment, sets various properties, and sends the appointment to request a meeting. CreateAppt
uses the CreateItem method to create an AppointmentItem object. It sets the MeetingStatus property of the AppointmentItem to olMeeting to indicate the appointment as a meeting request, and sets a required attendee, an optional attendee, and a meeting location as a resource. The example then displays and sends the appointment item.
Sub CreateAppt()
Dim myItem As Object
Dim myRequiredAttendee, myOptionalAttendee, myResourceAttendee As Outlook.Recipient
Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
myItem.MeetingStatus = olMeeting
myItem.Subject = "Strategy Meeting"
myItem.Location = "Conf Rm All Stars"
myItem.Start = #9/24/2009 1:30:00 PM#
myItem.Duration = 90
Set myRequiredAttendee = myItem.Recipients.Add("Nate Sun")
myRequiredAttendee.Type = olRequired
Set myOptionalAttendee = myItem.Recipients.Add("Kevin Kennedy")
myOptionalAttendee.Type = olOptional
Set myResourceAttendee = myItem.Recipients.Add("Conf Rm All Stars")
myResourceAttendee.Type = olResource
myItem.Display
myItem.Send
End Sub
