Hi there, in our access database i have code that allows a user to create an

outlook appointment, which can be seen below:

Dim objOutlook As Object

Dim objItem As Object

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Set objItem = objOutlook.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)

With objItem

> Subject = Title & " " & ": Appointment"

End With

objItem.Display

Set objOutlook = Nothing

however, what would be really useful is if it could go one step further and

open existing calendar items rather thana new item. we have a section on the

access database where users enter activity i.e. work done with a client on a

particular date - it would be really nice if when the user selects a date on

this activity screen that they could also maybe hit a command button that

would open up their outlook calendar on the same date as the date selected

within access itself so they can quicky copy and paste some of the

information that they have previosuly entered in their calendar into their

activity. or even that hitting the button opens up an access form that holds

information from the relevant fields from their outlook calendar - i have

seen this done and have done it myself but the opposite way i.e. you write it

into outlook. unfortunately this now doesnt work for us because we do our

activity retrospectively.

any help would be greatly appreciated
 
In Outlook 2007 the Explorer supports the CurrentView property, whcih

returns a CalendarView object if the current folder is a calendar. And the

CalendarView supports the GotoDate function.

Best regards
