How to: Create an Appointment as a Meeting on the Calendar

  • Article

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
