All your code seems fine. And all my tests successfully send out a meeting
cancellation that the user's receive. Can you confirm that the meeting
cancellation is in your Sent Items folder? If it's not there, it's not
getting sent out at all.

Here's the code that I used to create the meeting, maybe I'm missing
something here? :
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olfolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim olApptItem As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim strSubject As String
Dim strBodyText As String
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olfolder = olNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
Set olApptItem = olfolder.Items.Add("IPM.Appointment")
strBodyText = "This is a test please accept the invitation"
strSubject = "Test meeting invitation'
With olApptItem
.MeetingStatus = olMeeting
.Recipients.Add ("MyUser")
.Subject = strSubject
.Start = [Response Due Date]
.Body = strBodyText
.AllDayEvent = True
.ReminderSet = True
.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 10080 '1 day reminder = 1440, 1 week = 10080
.Save
.Send
End With

You shouldn't have to code a solution for this. If you cancel a meeting and
send a meeting update, users will receive the cancellation notice with an
option to remove it from their calendar, which will also delete the reminder.

Ultimately I would like for the user to create the meeting to cancel the
meeting so that the reminders doesn't keep popping up for everybody who was
invited to the meeting. But I hit a snag when I tried to do this via Access.
I was able to cancel the meeting but it didn't send any cancellation email
out. (I asked about this in another session: Subject: Send meeting
cancelation notice. 2/26/2007 6:03 AM PST ). It seems to me that when
Access created the meeting (Outlook creates 1 iinstance of the meeting) and
when Outlook sends the meeting invitation it somehow creates another one that
it doesn't save. Because when the invitee accepted the invitation the email
the person gets back says that this meeting is not in the calendar (although
I can see it in there).
So now I'm trying to figure a different way to do that. Do you have a
different way to approach this?
:
Is your intent to delete appointment items in other user's Calendars?
To get access to an item by it's ID, use the NameSpace.GetItemFromID method.
This will not allow you to get access to items outside of your mailbox
unless you have access to them via secondary mailboxes that are loaded in
your profile or via shared folders.

I'm working with Access and Outlook Meeting. Trying to figure out the best
way to create and delete meeting from Access. I've created the meeting
successfully, but haven't been able to delete and send a delete notice to
other meeting participants. I read something about using Global Object ID to
uniquely identify the meetings and have read this article
(
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?id=899919).
To access the Global Object ID programmatically, use the following
information.Property Set Tag (Namespace)
GUID = {6ED8DA90-450B-101B-98DA-00AA003F1305}
Named Property ID: 3
But I still don't understand where do I need to put this, and how exactly
can I use the Global Object ID in my app (how do I code it?). Any help or
suggestions is appreciated...
