Generating Outlook appointments with VBA
Posted on 2012-12-21
Hi All, I have an Access database that can generate iCalendar and vCalendar files, which are then sent to the relevant parties and added to whichever system they are using.
However, I want to be able to generate a file that I can send out, which also has the "Accept", "Decline" options (Outlook calls it 'Invite Attendees'). Is this possible?
Thanks as always for the help.

If you're willing to spend a small bit of money, you can use vbMAPI from www.everythingaccess.com. I started using this for any Outlook requirements in my Access projects, and it's been a great investment. Note I have on affiliation with this product other than being a satisfied customer.
If you're not looking to do that, then perhaps this link will help:

The author there indicates that you must change the appointment item to a Meeting:
objAppt.MeetingStatus = Outlook.OlMeetingStatus.ol
Also, when you ask questions like this it's always a good idea to include the code that you're using to generate these items.
