I am writing a VB program that needs to create an appointment item in
a Public Calendar but I believe that CDO 1.x doesn't support this and
MAPI only allows message items to be created. I also thought of creating
the items in the personal calendar and moving or copying them but this
does seem to be supported either.

Does anyone have any ideas on if and how this can be done?

Many thanks,
Seamus Conlon

Why not just use the Outlook object model to create the item directly in the
folder, using the MAPIFolder.Items.Add method?

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
http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public
.outlook.program_vba

Apologies for the incorrect posting - I debated with myself where this
should
go and obviously made the wrong decision!

I have moved it to the microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba newsgroup.
