If you look at the VBA Help on the MonthOfYear property you will see that
setting it to 1 wouldn't mean the recurrence starts in January, it means
that it should only recur every January. However, that can be changed or
overridden by other settings you make and the order in which they are set.

If I wanted a yearly recurrence starting on January 3, 2010 I'd set the
StartTime to January 3 at a specific time and set a yearly recurrence.

So, in pseudocode:

set recurrence type to yearly
set recurrence start to January 3, 2010
set occurrences to 10

Because you often find that the actual pattern generated from settings in
the UI dialog don't match I've found the best way to handle things if I have
questions is to create an actual dummy recurring appointment with the
pattern I want in the UI dialog, then I analyze the resulting
RecurrencePattern on the recurring series to see how Outlook interpreted the
pattern I wanted.

Are you setting the recurrence type to recurs weekly first? Then you OR the
days you want into the mask you set. To make things easier to debug I derive
the OR'd value first and then set that result for the DayOfWeekMask
property.

Hi
Thanks for your support


i am setting the recurrence type to recurs daily and i am setting
recurrencePattern.DayOfWeekMask = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.
OlDaysOfWeek)62;
then it is giving bellow error
"The property for the recurrence type is not valid. Verify your code."

if i set weekly and dayofmask it is working properly but when i recurrence
pattern there weekly type and week days checkbox is selecting but i want to
select daily and weekday options

Thanks

You have to use code that works, not what you'd like to use. If those are
the settings you want you have to use the weekly type with the day of the
week mask set. Otherwise it won't work.
