Hi,

I'm using access 2003

I'm looking for some code to create appointments into a shared outlook

calendar.

We've got several shared calendars and I need to post appointments into a

specific one using dates and times from our access database.

I've got the following code, but this puts the appointments in my personal

calendar;

I can't figure out how to modify this code to make it work for me,

Anyone any ideas?

Cheers,

Paul

Private Sub cmdAddAppt_Click()

On Error GoTo Add_Err

'Save record first to be sure required fields are filled.

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord

'Exit the procedure if appointment has been added to Outlook.

If Me!AddedToOutlook = True Then

MsgBox "This appointment is already added to Microsoft Outlook"

Exit Sub

'Add a new appointment.

Else

Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application

Dim objAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem

Dim objRecurPattern As Outlook.RecurrencePattern

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Set objAppt = objOutlook.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)

With objAppt

> .Start = Me!ApptStartDate & " " & Me!ApptTime

> .Duration = Me!ApptLength

> .AllDayEvent = True

> .Subject = Me!Appt

If Not IsNull(Me!ApptNotes) Then .Body = Me!ApptNotes

If Not IsNull(Me!Apptlocation) Then .Location = Me!Apptlocation

If Me!Apptreminder Then

> .ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = Me!ReminderMinutes

> .ReminderSet = True

End If

'Set objRecurPattern = .GetRecurrencePattern

'With objRecurPattern

'.RecurrenceType = olRecursWeekly

'.Interval = 1

'Once per week

'You can hard-wire in these dates or get the

'information from text boxes, as used here.

'.PatternStartDate = #12/1/2003#

'.PatternStartDate = Me!ApptStartDate

'.PatternEndDate = #12/30/2003#

'.PatternEndDate = Me!ApptEndDate

'End With

> .Save

> .Close (olSave)

End With

'Release the AppointmentItem object variable.

Set objAppt = Nothing

End If

'Release the object variables.

Set objOutlook = Nothing

' Set objRecurPattern = Nothing

'Set the AddedToOutlook flag, save the record, display

'a message.

Me!AddedToOutlook = True

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord

MsgBox "Appointment Added!"

Exit Sub

Add_Err:

MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & Err.Description

Exit Sub

End Sub
 
Where is the calendar located? Is it in a different PST file, a delegate

Exchange mailbox, an Exchange public folder or what?

Try this to get information to provide so someone can help you. Select the

desired folder and make sure it's showing in an Outlook folder view. In

Outlook use Alt+F11 to open the Outlook VBA project. Make sure the Immediate

window is showing and in that window type the following:

? application.activeexplorer.currentfolder.folderpath

Copy that information into another post and then someone can guide you as to

how to get a handle to that folder.

Ken,

Thanks for the reply. I got it working using the getfolderid to determine

the correct calendar.

Cheers,
