Changing AppointmentItem.Subject split recurrence (series)

[Mk23]

Hi

I have a problem by manipulating Appointment items properties. Our addin
manipulates the subject of appointmentItems.
When i have a recurrence appointmentitem, and I manipulate the subject, the
recurrence will be shown as split in the Outlook.

I tried to set the new subject over the recurrence pattern, but there is no
property that offers an operation like this. I also tried to set the subject
only at the first appointment of the recurrence, but the result was, that
only the one I manipulatet showed also the right subject.

Has someone any idea?

This works like a charm:

Set Folder=Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
Set obj=Folder.Items("testitem")
if not obj is nothing then
obj.subject="hallo testitem"
obj.save
end if

This I tried naturally allready. But the problem of the splitted recurrence
remain.

Do you mean you get an exception in the series?
That means you are modifying one of the instances of the appointment, not
the master appointment.
Check if the AppointmentItem.RecurrenceState property is olApptOccurrence (=
2) or olApptException (=3) and use Parent property, which will return the
master appointment.
