Automaticly create an appointment based on anothers category?

[Mark]

I use a stand-alone copy of Outlook 2003 to keep a diary of bookings for
several meeting rooms - each room is aasigned a category to distinguish
between them. What I'd like to do is automatically create a cleaning
shedule for the rooms by interrogating the categories and creating a
corresponding appointment for the following day in a separate sub-calendar
(or simply with a separate category).
Is this possible?

TIA
Mark

If I understand the problem correctly, no. You can't automate the creation
of appointments, at least not with outlook's native capabilities. If you
know Outlook VBA, you could.
