time zone problem in outlook

I send alot of calendar invites thru microsoft access. I send appointments
across another time zone. Is there a way to program in vba for the invite
to tell it which time zone to send in? I hope this makes sense?
tnx

On the Extended MAPI level, there are a couple named properties that do what
you probably need (I've never tried to set them or use in any way):

{00062002-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}, 0x8233, PT_BINARY - binary structure
with the timezone info
{00062002-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}, 0x8234, PT_STRING8 - string with the
timezone name
{6ED8DA90-450B-101B-98DA-00AA003F1305}, 0xC, PT_LONG - timezone number

HI thanks for the advise. What I am looking for is to send appt for example
9:00 am pacific time like it shows in my database but when I send an invite
to someone right now in the pacific time zone the time switches to 8:00 am
pacific. Is there anyway I can tell my outlook to say the invite is 9:00 am
pacific time using vba in an invite.
thnx

is no need for either user to worry about this. Outlook uses GMT to handle
appointments, and the correct appointment time will resolve to the local
time for people in any time zone.

Like I said, Outlook and Windows handles the relationships between local time and GMT. You can only set a simple date/time programmatically - nothing you can do with time zones.

Search for "Time zones" in Outlook Help to see in depth how Outlook handles international dates and times.
