The following code creates a calendar event based on the days and times from contact fields of the contact that is selected....but what I need to do, is I created the Subject using the words Birthday and Full Name, which shows up on the Calender Event,but what I want is that it is the day of of the event but as an "All Day Event", and if possible, it automatically in ever year going forward.

So here is the code and would be great to hear back right away:
Sub Create_Birthday_Calendar_Event_Full_Day3()
Dim objApp As Application
Dim objNS As NameSpace
Dim objFolder As MAPIFolder
Dim objMsg As mailItem
Dim ObjItem As Object
Dim objItems As Object
Dim remoteObj
Dim strDynamicDL As String
Dim ContactName
Dim olns
Dim myFolder
Dim NumItems
Dim myItem
Dim StartDateTime
Dim EndDateTime
Dim ShowAs
Dim itmAppt

Set oContact = ObjItem
Set objApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNS = objApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objSelection = objApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection

For Each ObjItem In objSelection

If ObjItem.Class = olContact Then

strDynamicDL = strDynamicDL & ";" & ObjItem.fullname
Else
strDynamicDL = strDynamicDL & ";" & obj.DLName

End If
Next
ContactName = strDynamicDL

Set myFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(9).Folders(2)
Set itmAppt = myFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Appointment.Office Calendar Event")
itmAppt.Subject = ContactName & (": ") & ("Birthday")

For Each ObjItem In objSelection
If ObjItem.Class = olContact Then
itmAppt.Location = ("Birthday")
StartDateTime = ObjItem.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("OlkDateControl1").value & " " & ObjItem.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("OlkTimeControl1").Text

itmAppt.Start = StartDateTime
EndDateTime = ObjItem.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("OlkDateControl2").value & " " & ObjItem.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("OlkTimeControl2").Text

itmAppt.End = EndDateTime
ShowAs = ObjItem.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("combobox13").value

Select Case ShowAs
Case "Free"
ShowAs = 0
Case "Tentative"
ShowAs = 1
Case "Busy"
ShowAs = 2
Case "Out of Office"
ShowAs = 3
End Select
itmAppt.BusyStatus = ShowAs

itmAppt.Links.Add ObjItem

End If
Next

itmAppt.Display

Set objMsg = Nothing
Set ObjItem = Nothing
Set objFolder = Nothing
Set objNS = Nothing
Set objApp = Nothing
End Sub
 
Add itmAppt.AllDayEvent = True, in place of the end time field.

Dim myPattern As Outlook.RecurrencePattern
Set myPattern = itmAppt.GetRecurrencePattern
myPattern.RecurrenceType = olRecursYearly
 
So replace the following and add the other code at the top?

EndDateTime = ObjItem.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("OlkDateControl2").value & " " & ObjItem.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("OlkTimeControl2").Text

itmAppt.End = EndDateTime
 
This is the minimum you need to add:

Code:
Dim myPatternAs RecurrencePattern 
 
Set myPattern= oAppt.GetRecurrencePattern 
 
With itmAppt 
      .AllDayEvent = True 
     .Subject = ContactName & (": ") & ("Birthday") 
End With 
 
With myPattern 
    .RecurrenceType = olRecursYearly 
  ' .Occurrences = 20 'needed only if you want to set an end date 
   .PatternStartDate = birthdate-field 
   .StartTime = #12:00:00 AM# 
   .Duration = 1440 
End With 
 
itmAppt.Save 
itmAppt.Display
 
So replace the following and add the other code at the top?

EndDateTime = ObjItem.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("OlkDateControl2").value & " " & ObjItem.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("OlkTimeControl2").Text

itmAppt.End = EndDateTime

I'd replace both with the pattern code in my last message and use whatever field holds the birthdate where birthdate-field is.
 
Thanks but don't understand the full code. Can you please post the full code I should try? Thank you much
 
Delete these two lines:
EndDateTime = ObjItem.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("OlkDateControl2").value & " " & ObjItem.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("OlkTimeControl2").Text
itmAppt.End = EndDateTime

replace with this:

Code:
 Dim myPattern As RecurrencePattern 
 Set myPattern = itmAppt.GetRecurrencePattern 
 
With  myPattern 
 .RecurrenceType = olRecursYearly 
' .Occurrences = 20 
 .PatternStartDate = itmAppt.Start 
 .StartTime = #12:00:00 AM# 
End With
 
Based on what you gave me, here is what I did, and it creates an all day event calendar event and it is also shows up every year...but, the date of the event is today......the field I have in my contact form.....the display of it is ComboBox30 and the field is comes with I created is name Birthday Date.....so how does this code change or what to add and where, so it creates it as the date of the field?

Sub Create_Birthday_Calendar_Event_Full_Day3()
Dim objApp As Application
Dim objNS As NameSpace
Dim objFolder As MAPIFolder
Dim objMsg As mailItem
Dim ObjItem As Object
Dim objItems As Object
Dim remoteObj
Dim strDynamicDL As String
Dim ContactName
Dim olns
Dim myFolder
Dim NumItems
Dim myItem
Dim StartDateTime
Dim EndDateTime
Dim ShowAs
Dim itmAppt
Dim myPattern As RecurrencePattern

Set oContact = ObjItem
Set objApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNS = objApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objSelection = objApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection

For Each ObjItem In objSelection

If ObjItem.Class = olContact Then

strDynamicDL = strDynamicDL & ";" & ObjItem.FullName
Else
strDynamicDL = strDynamicDL & ";" & obj.DLName

End If
Next

ContactName = strDynamicDL

Set myFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(9).Folders(2)
Set itmAppt = myFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Appointment.Office Calendar Event")
itmAppt.Subject = ContactName & (": ") & ("Birthday")

For Each ObjItem In objSelection

With itmAppt
.AllDayEvent = True
.Subject = ContactName & (": ") & ("Birthday")
End With

Set myPattern = itmAppt.GetRecurrencePattern

With myPattern
.RecurrenceType = olRecursYearly


End With

itmAppt.Save
itmAppt.Display


Select Case ShowAs
Case "Free"
ShowAs = 0
Case "Tentative"
ShowAs = 1
Case "Busy"
ShowAs = 2
Case "Out of Office"
ShowAs = 3
End Select

itmAppt.BusyStatus = ShowAs

itmAppt.Links.Add ObjItem

'End If
Next

itmAppt.Display

Set objMsg = Nothing
Set ObjItem = Nothing
Set objFolder = Nothing
Set objNS = Nothing
Set objApp = Nothing
End Sub
 
I changed it one more time and here it is, and it uses the date from the contact field.....so this now works but, the begining of the subject before the name, there is a ; so how do we not have that show up?

Sub Create_Birthday_Calendar_Event_Full_Day3()
Dim objApp As Application
Dim objNS As NameSpace
Dim objFolder As MAPIFolder
Dim objMsg As mailItem
Dim ObjItem As Object
Dim objItems As Object
Dim remoteObj
Dim strDynamicDL As String
Dim ContactName
Dim olns
Dim myFolder
Dim NumItems
Dim myItem
Dim StartDateTime
Dim EndDateTime
Dim ShowAs
Dim itmAppt
Dim myPattern As RecurrencePattern

Set oContact = ObjItem
Set objApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNS = objApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objSelection = objApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection

For Each ObjItem In objSelection

If ObjItem.Class = olContact Then

strDynamicDL = strDynamicDL & ";" & ObjItem.FullName
Else
strDynamicDL = strDynamicDL & ";" & obj.DLName

End If
Next

ContactName = strDynamicDL

Set myFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(9).Folders(2)
Set itmAppt = myFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Appointment.Office Calendar Event")
itmAppt.Subject = ContactName & (": ") & ("Birthday")

For Each ObjItem In objSelection

With itmAppt
.AllDayEvent = True
.Subject = ContactName & (": ") & ("Birthday")
StartDateTime = ObjItem.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("ComboBox30")

itmAppt.Start = StartDateTime
End With

Set myPattern = itmAppt.GetRecurrencePattern

With myPattern
.RecurrenceType = olRecursYearly


End With

itmAppt.Save
itmAppt.Display


Select Case ShowAs
Case "Free"
ShowAs = 0
Case "Tentative"
ShowAs = 1
Case "Busy"
ShowAs = 2
Case "Out of Office"
ShowAs = 3
End Select

itmAppt.BusyStatus = ShowAs

itmAppt.Links.Add ObjItem
Next

itmAppt.Display

Set objMsg = Nothing
Set ObjItem = Nothing
Set objFolder = Nothing
Set objNS = Nothing
Set objApp = Nothing
End Sub
 
The ; would be coming from the ContactName field you are using. Looks like it's constructed from the strDynamicDL
 
In my contact field there is no ; so is there a way to fix this code so the ; is not in front of the Subject? Thanks.
 
I changed 'strDynamicDL = strDynamicDL & ";" & ObjItem.fullname to strDynamicDL = ObjItem.fullname and it did it
 
Next question re this same code. As you showed me the same process in a different code.

This works when I select or open a contact....but if the contact is opened from the email I received, the code does not work.

In the past you added something to my code for converting things between fields when I open the contact from the email I received.....so I don't know what to add to this, so when I open a contact from the email I receive, the code works for that opened contact. Thanks much.

You mean when you double click on an address in an email and the contact opens? Didn't you figure out the code to do that a few weeks ago?
 
You gave it for a code i was using but don't know exactly what to add to this code creating the birthday all day calendar event. Can you post what I need and where to put it please?
 
Any update as to what to put into this code and where?
