Outlook and VBA

[Guest]

I am currently able to use VBA to create new appointments in Outlook 2003
without a problem, but what I would also like to do is to create appointments
on our public folder calendar (which is shared throughout the office using
Exchange Server).

To create a new item in a non-default folder programmatically, use the Add method on the target folder's Items collection:

Set newItem = targetFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Appointment.MyCustomForm")

The message class parameter is optional.

You can use the code at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getfolder.htm to walk the folder hierarchy and return the MAPIFolder corresponding to a given path string.
