I'm wondering if there is a way to specify what calendar the oppointment is
created in?

There are three public calendars, and I want to specify in what calendar I
create an appointment.

Thanks,
Oscar M.

Hi Oscar,

select the Calendar for the new appointment => In Outlook under:
File/New/Date

create the new date and in the selected calendar you will get the
appointment. In my shared Outlook it works.

Hi Oliver, thanks for your response. But I'm doing this through VB code.

This is the code:

Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim objRecurPattern As Outlook.RecurrencePattern
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objAppt = objOutlook.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
...

What I would like to know is if there is a way to specify the calendar to be
updated.

Thanks.
Oscar M.

To create a new instance in a non-default folder programmatically, use the Add method on the target folder's Items collection:

Set newItem = targetFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Appointment")

You can use the code at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getfolder.htm to walk the folder hierarchy and return the MAPIFolder corresponding to a given path string.

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

Thanks for your help!

I just put a post on that newsgroup. Sorry.
