Write from Outlook Calendar to Access Database
Posted on 2012-12-28
We have an application that dymaically writes from an Access Database to a Shared Public Exchange Calendar. When a user changes a date in the Database, it automatically adds, deletes or moves the item on this public calendar.
Now the users want to be able to move one of the items on the OUtlook Calendar and have it change the date in the Access Database.
How can I do this? I do have unique data that I link the field with the OUtlook object, so that isn't a problem. I just don't know in Outlook VBA how to tell it to look at a Calendar entry and when it changes to do something.
Cheers for any guidance!

Have you considered 'Linking' the Outlook data into Access?
Last time I checked, changes worked from both ways...

That feature just creates a linked table. We have our database that as users add and move things in different tables/fields, etc, then the Calendar updates.
However, now the users to go the other way.
I have a public calendar called "Study Schedule", and when a user moves an item from one date to another, I have to have it go change some things in access.
I can't figure out how to know in Outlook VBA that a Public Calendar item has been moved/deleted/edited, etc.
If I can figure that out, I should be good to go.

Then this seems to be more complex than I had originally thought...

After 2 hours of trying things , I figured it out... Add this code to the ThisOutlookSession Code:
Dim WithEvents m_objAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Private Sub Application_ItemLoad(ByVal
On Error Resume Next
Dim strClass As String
Select Case Item.Class
Case olAppointment
Set m_objAppt = Item
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub m_objAppt_Open(Cancel As Boolean)
'Put code here for opening
'for example, to look at the subject
'.m_objAppt.Subject
End Sub
Private Sub m_objAppt_Read()
'put read code here.
End Sub
Private Sub m_objAppt_Unload()
'don't put code here because object model won't see it.
' Set m_objAppt = Nothing
End Sub
Dim WithEvents m_objAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Private Sub Application_ItemLoad(ByVal
On Error Resume Next
Dim strClass As String
Select Case Item.Class
Case olAppointment
Set m_objAppt = Item
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub m_objAppt_Open(Cancel As Boolean)
'Put code here for opening
'for example, to look at the subject
'.m_objAppt.Subject
End Sub
Private Sub m_objAppt_Read()
'put read code here.
End Sub
Private Sub m_objAppt_Unload()
'don't put code here because object model won't see it.
' Set m_objAppt = Nothing
End Sub
