Example

This Visual Basic for Applications example uses GetRecurrencePattern to obtain the RecurrencePattern object for the newly-created AppointmentItem. The properties, RecurrenceType, DayOfWeekMask, MonthOfYear, Instance, Occurrences, StartTime, EndTime, and Subject are set, the appointment is saved and then displayed with the pattern: "Occurs the first Monday of June effective 6/1/2007 until 6/6/2016 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM."

Sub RecurringYearNth() 
 
 Dim oAppt As AppointmentItem 
 
 Dim oPattern As RecurrencePattern 
 
 Set oAppt = Application.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem) 
 
 Set oPattern = oAppt.GetRecurrencePattern 
 
 With oPattern 
 
 .RecurrenceType = olRecursYearNth 
 
 .DayOfWeekMask = olMonday 
 
 .MonthOfYear = 6 
 
 .Instance = 1 
 
 .Occurrences = 10 
 
 .Duration = 180 
 
 .PatternStartDate = #6/1/2007# 
 
 .StartTime = #2:00:00 PM# 
 
 .EndTime = #5:00:00 PM# 
 
 End With 
 
 oAppt.Subject = "Recurring YearNth Appointment" 
 
 oAppt.Save 
 
 oAppt.Display 
 
End Sub
