Set location to resourse name

[Marzipan]

I am using a custom template for a training room. When an item is created
the location is blank. I want it to be the resourse name. I know would use
the OPEN event and item.location, my question is:

item.location= (what?)

 

[Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]]

Item.Location = "whatever text you want to appear there"

Note that Outlook should automatically insert the resource name into the Location field when the user invites a room as a resource attendee.

1) for this room, we don't want to send out invitations.

2) I am looking for the property that would be the resourse name (i.e. the
calendar in which the scheduler is creating an appointment. Since the form
would be used as a template for several calendars, I don't want it to be a
literal.

Thanks, Marlene

Outlook does not provide a way to get the name of the user whose calendar is being added to.

Anyway to clear the cashe in the drop down control for Location and
re-populate with desired list?

No, the list is maintained by Outlook from previous values. You can clear it by hacking the registry, but you can't populate it.
