Exception.OriginalDate Property (Outlook)

Returns a Date indicating the original date and time of an AppointmentItem before it was altered. This property will return the original date even if the AppointmentItem has been deleted. However, it will not return the original time if deletion has occurred. Read-only.

Syntax

expression .OriginalDate

expression A variable that represents an Exception object.

Example

This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses CreateItem to create an AppointmentItem object. The RecurrencePattern is obtained for this item using the GetRecurrencePattern method. By setting the these properties: RecurrenceType, PatternStartDate, and PatternEndDate, the appointments are now a recurring series that occur on a daily basis for the period of one year. An Exception object is created when one instance of this recurring appointment is obtained using the GetOccurrence method and properties for this instance are altered. This exception to the series of appointments is obtained using the GetRecurrencePattern method to access the Exceptions collection associated with this series. Message boxes display the original Subject and OriginalDate for this exception to the series of appointments and the current date, time, and subject for this exception.
