So what is your existing code and what exactly fails?

here is the code
The code is done for Outlook 2000
{
_ApplicationPtr pApp;
_ItemsPtr pItems;
MAPIFolderPtr pFolder;
_ContactItemPtr pContact;
HRESULT hr,hrAppEvent;
ApplicationEventsPtr pAppEvent;
// access outlook com
OleInitialize (NULL);

hr=pApp.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Application));
if(FAILED(hr))
{
printf("Outlook Initialization failed");

}

_TaskItemPtr pTaskItem= pApp->CreateItem(olTaskItem);
hrAppEvent=pAppEvent.CreateInstance(__uuidof(TaskItem));
if(FAILED(hrAppEvent))
{
printf("Application Initialization failed");

}
pAppEvent->Reminder(pTaskItem);
printf("%s",pTaskItem->GetSubject());

}

I am not sure what your code is trying to do. You cannot instantiate an
ApplicationEvents object. *Your* code must implement it (it is a
dispinterface, so it is really just an IDispatch). Subscribe to the
Application events (QI for IConnectionPointContainer, call
IConnectionPointContainer::FindConnectionPoint, then
IConnectionPoint::Advise). Whenever that event is raised, your
implementation of IDispatch::Invoke (the one you pass to
IConnectionPoint::Advise) will be called with the appropriate dispid.
