"Custom actions" in Outlook specifically means actions on the Actions tab of
a custom form. Therefore, perhaps what you want to do is create a custom
form for your appointments?

I explain what i did since now :

I succeed to share an outlook calendar with all users of my my local
area network ... i used a access database to store appointment items
properties (dates, times, EntryIds ...) of each user's synchronizations.
I used ADO, outlook, and a free VBTimer ActiveX references.
All work fine :p

But now i want to lunch the synchronization function when a user made
an appointment on the calendar view ... but i can't :(
I want to continue only with VBA code if it's possible, symply
implementing the writing function of appointment item object.

The easiest solution is to use the MAPIFolder.Items.ItemAdd and .ItemChange
events.

The alternative is to create a wrapper class that can handle all open or
selected AppointmentItem objects and their item-level events. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/vb.htm#wrapper

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming
issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web
interface, at

.outlook.program_vba
