Outlook Calendar

[vegardhv]

Hey

I'm working with automation in the outlook calendar (MS Access using
visual basic).

My goal is to put appointments into a shared calendar - I'm looping
through a database, finding numerous funerals - maybe 3-4 each day,
and want to put them into a shared calendar shared by all the workers
on the funeral parlour.

I've achieved
putting them into the default calendar, but I want it to go into
another one - let's say it's name is "Shared Calendar". I've been
trying lot of things without success - here is my code that puts it
into the default calendar. How do I get it to put the appointments
into a shared calendar ?

I tried to use:

Set ocalItems = oNameSpace.Folder("Shared Calendar").Items

instead of

Set ocalItems = oNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar).Items

Below is my code that works for the default calendar in outlook .
Sorry if I sound n00bish. And btw - you got any tutorials, books I can
read on this topic to get a better understanding I would highly
appreciate it.

Hope any of you bright minds can help

regards
Vegard

To create a new item in a non-default folder programmatically, use the Add method on the target folder's Items collection:

Set newItem = targetFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Post.YourFormName")

The message class parameter is optional.

To create an item in another person's Calendar folder in an Exchange mailbox, use Namespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder to get the target MAPIFolder. Otherwise, you can use the code at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getfolder.htm to walk the folder hierarchy and return the MAPIFolder corresponding to a given path string.
