How to get an event when a meeting starts and ends

[Jan K]

I'm trying to figure out how to get an event when a meeting that includes a
key word in its title begins and ends. I thought I might be able to do this
by listening to the ItemChange event on the Items returned from the
olFolderCalendar folder, but I don't know what change to look for to tell
that the meeting has begun.

There are no specific events for when a meeting begins/ends. What you can do
is to set a reminder on the item, due when the meeting is due to start, then
when that reminder event fires you can change the reminder setting to the
end point of the meeting and then the reminder event will fire again.

That would work in VBA code or a COM addin, but it wouldn't work in form
code.

The beginning and end are all I need, but it sounds like I have to use
reminders for this.
