Macro: Get appointment from attachment

[oetting]

Hi i am trying to write an macro that gets appointments that are
attached to emails and add them to the calendar.

But when i recive the mail with the attachement i can't seem to get an
item out of the attached file. I can save the file from the macro and
then drag it in to the calendar. But how do i do it automatically?

How do i convert an attachment to an item, or
How do i convert a file to an item

By "appointments that are attached to emails," do you mean meeting requests? If so, take a look at the MeetingItem.GetAssociatedAppointment method.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba

Thank you for your answer.

method.

No simply an attached calender item. If I use the meeting item I can't
avoid all kinds of securityquestions(right?)

I will ask my question in the programming group
