How can I export calendar items to excel with filter?

[David]

Hello, All!

I got a Problem:
I need to export my outlook 2003 calendar to an .xls file.
Actually, the vb-code should do exactly the same
as the Export option in the File menu.
I have three variables in my code that I want
to use for startdate, enddate and filename of
the .xls-file to be created.
I´ve been surfing the net for five days ,
but couldn´t find anything that solved my problem.

I hope this is a simple code and someone can help me.

Thx

With best regards, David. E-mail: (e-mail address removed)

Hi David,

examples are available in the VBA help. Please search for the Find and
FindNext or Restrict methods in Outlook VBA and Add (Workbooks) in Excel
VBA.

With Find or Restrict you can select all items between start- and
enddate. Workbooks.Add creates a new Workbook, which you can save using
your filename variable.

Here's the code. Ignore or comment out my custom fields. Or use the syntax to
reference your own custom fields in Calendar.

Option Explicit
