In a VB (or VB.net) program, I need to be able to set Appointments for other
users with accounts on the Exchange server. Is this possible?

If so, is it just a matter of creating an Appointment object using the
Outlook object model?

If not, is there some other way to achieve this like maybe sending a Task
Request or Meeting Request that the end user can create an Appointment from.

Are there security settings that must be configured to make it work?

Thanks for any advice you can give to at least point me in the right
direction.

If you have write access to the other users' folders, yes, it's just a matter of using the Namespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder method to get the folder, then create an item in its Items collection.
