Example
This Visual Basic for Applications example uses CreateItem to create an appointment and uses MeetingStatus to set the meeting status to "Meeting" to turn it into a meeting request with both a required and an optional attendee.
Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
myItem.MeetingStatus = olMeeting
myItem.Subject = "Strategy Meeting"
myItem.Location = "Conference Room B"
myItem.Start = #9/24/97 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("Conference Room B")
myResourceAttendee.Type = olResource
myItem.Send
If you use VBScript, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript.
Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(1)
myItem.MeetingStatus = 1
myItem.Subject = "Strategy Meeting"
myItem.Location = "Conference Room B"
myItem.Start = #9/24/97 1:30:00 PM#
myItem.Duration = 90
Set myRequiredAttendee = myItem.Recipients.Add ("Nate Sun")
myRequiredAttendee.Type = 1
Set myOptionalAttendee = myItem.Recipients.Add ("Kevin Kennedy")
myOptionalAttendee.Type = 2
Set myResourceAttendee = myItem.Recipients.Add("Conference Room B")
myResourceAttendee.Type = 3
myItem.Send
