Set olNs = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oAppt = olApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
'Set meeting parameters

With oAppt
..Duration = 60 'lDuration '(in minutes)
..Location = "Here" 'sLocation
'.MeetingStatus = 0 'olMeeting - No, 0 = olNonMeeting

If you are using the Outlook object model Outlook has to be installed and
using GetObject it would have to be already running and the code would have
to be running in the namespace where Outlook is running. If you set up your
script in debugging mode you can check on each line to see if you are
getting the objects you expect and where any errors are occurring.

Thanks for advice.. I went into debugging mode.. found that indeed the vbscript
could not use Set oAppt = olApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem) but had to
be > > Set oAppt = olApp.CreateItem(1).. Whooo hoooo..

VBScript doesn't have the Outlook enums defined so you can't use them but
have to use the actual values instead. It's the same thing with many
constants that you'd take for granted using Outlook VBA code.
