Launching Calendar from Excel

[Memphis]

Hello,
I use a case control sheet in Excel, I need to follow-up on cases I work on
so I
use Outlook to create follow-up reminders after I mail out documents to
individuals.
I run Outlook in the background all the time.
I figured how to add a cmd button to excel to launch Outlook
(Application.ActivateMicrosoftApp xlMicrosoftMail). I would like to take it a
step farther and be able to Launch Outlook and display a new blank
appointment for todays date so that I may create a new appointment and add a
reminder.

Thank you

If Outlook is running, this should work:

Dim OL as Object
Dim Appt as Object
Set OL=GetObject(,"Outlook.Application")
Set Appt=OL.CreateItem(1)
Appt.Display

For more VBA questions, please post to microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba
