Create outlook appointment in another calendar via Excel VBA

Hello All,

I have managed to create a sub that will add an appointment to outlook calendar.
However I want to be able to create a new calendar and add appointments to that one.
Have been searching but cannot find any ideas !

Below is my code that adds appointment to default calendar.

Can anyone help me add appointment to another calendar, say called Calendar - Second

ub AddToOutlookCalendar(cerDate, cerTime, cerNames)
 
    Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim olApt As AppointmentItem
 
    Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
    Set olApt = olApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
 
    olTime = TimeSerial(Left(cerTime, 2), Right(cerTime, 2), 0)
    olDate = DateSerial(Right(cerDate, 4), Mid(cerDate, 4, 2), Left(cerDate, 2))
          
    With olApt
        .Start = olDate + olTime
        .End = .Start + TimeValue("0:45:00")
        .Subject = cerNames
        .Location = "Anywhere"
        .Body = ""
        .BusyStatus = olBusy
        .ReminderSet = False
        .Save
    End With
 
    Set olApt = Nothing
    Set olApp = Nothing
 
End Sub

Hi, dtharby.

That's easy enough to do. You just need to add some code and change line #7. The code to add is in the snippet below. Replace line #7 with these two lines of code:

Set objFolder = OpenMAPIFolder("Path to the folder you want to add the appointment in")
Set olApt = objFolder.Items.Add

A folder path in Outlook will look something like this:

Mailbox - Doe, John\Some Folder\Some Sub-folder
Personal Folders\Some Folder\Some Sub-folder

'Credit where credit is due.
'The code below is not mine.  I found it somewhere on the internet but do
'not remember where or who the author is.  The original author(s) deserves all
'the credit for these functions.
Function OpenMAPIFolder(szPath)
    Dim app, ns, flr, szDir, i
    Set flr = Nothing
    Set app = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    If Left(szPath, Len("\")) = "\" Then
        szPath = Mid(szPath, Len("\") + 1)
    Else
        Set flr = app.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
    End If
    While szPath <> ""
        i = InStr(szPath, "\")
        If i Then
            szDir = Left(szPath, i - 1)
            szPath = Mid(szPath, i + Len("\"))
        Else
            szDir = szPath
            szPath = ""
        End If
        If IsNothing(flr) Then
            Set ns = app.GetNamespace("MAPI")
            Set flr = ns.Folders(szDir)
        Else
            Set flr = flr.Folders(szDir)
        End If
    Wend
    Set OpenMAPIFolder = flr
End Function
