Hi, I trying to create a new calendar appointment in Outlook using data I have from an Access database. I can get the data into Outlook fine, but I need it to go to a one of many shared calendar files that are not a part of the folder structure of the Outlook file I am logged into. The calendars do appear under the My Calendar tab and are shared with me. The appointment always shows up in the calendar that I am logged in as in Outlook. I need it to go to the shared calendar "MJP". I think I am missing a step here - any help would be greatly appreciated.


Private Sub Command61_Click()
Dim NS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim objOwner As Outlook.Recipient
Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As AppointmentItem
Dim newCalFolder As Outlook.Folder

Set oApp = Outlook.Application


If Err <> 0 Then
Set oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
End If

Set NS = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objOwner = NS.CreateRecipient("MJP")
objOwner.Resolve

If objOwner.Resolved Then
MsgBox objOwner.Name
Set newCalFolder = NS.GetSharedDefaultFolder(objOwner, olFolderCalendar)
End If

Set oItem = oApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)

With oItem
.Subject = "This is a test "
.Start = "23/06/2015 11:45"
.Location = "Room 101"

Select Case 1
Case 1
.Display
Case 2
.Save
End Select
End With

Set oApp = Nothing
Set NS = Nothing

End Sub

Now having a problem with missing reference MSOUTL.OLB. I know this has to do with a user that must have a different version of Outlook. I've tried late binding, but when I remove the reference and try the late binding, I can't use the code
Set newCalFolder = NS.GetSharedDefaultFolder(objOwner, olFolderCalendar)

because of the olFolderCalendar reference

Is there any way to resolve the reference problem without the late binding or some other solution? Everyone has the same version of Access, they just upgraded.
 
Either add "Microsoft Outlook x Object Library" via Tools/references, or replace the constants in the code by their values.

It's the Microsoft Outlook x Object Library that causes a problem. I add it, but when one of the users opens the Access database and does not have that version of Outlook, it flags the reference as missing or broken, then it doesn't work for anyone after that.

I'm not sure what the value would be for olFolderCalendar in the statement below, it is what is available in the reference.
Set newCalFolder = NS.GetSharedDefaultFolder(objOwner, olFolderCalendar)

Also tried using a string and setting it to "olFolderCalendar" and using the string in the above statement, but it would not work.

On your compzer where the library is available, right click on the constant, choose Definition. It will show the constant in the object browser, there see at the bottom where the value is displayed.
