Outlook 2003 create appointment

[cookiemonster]

Unfortunately you can't do this with _OL_Wrapper_CreateAppointment.

But it isn't too complex either. _OL_Wrapper_CreateAppointment just calls a few other functions of the UDF.

You need _OL_FolderAccess to access "Cal B" and _OL_RecipientAdd to invite "Cal C".

 

Call me stupid but I can find _OL_RecipientAdd?

is it _OL_ItemRecipientAdd that I want?

[water]

Sorry my bad. Should be _OL_ItemRecipientAdd.

_OL_ItemRecipientAdd is a function of the OutlookEX UDF.

ok cheers, bit lost already, so the location of the calendar is 'Mailbox - calb' when I right click and select properties on the calendar in outlook, so my code is

Global $oOutlook = _OL_Open()
Global $aFolder = _OL_FolderAccess($oOutlook, "*\\Mailbox - IPhone")
If @error <> 0 Then Exit MsgBox(16, "OutlookEX UDF: _OL_FolderAccess Example Script", "Error accessing folder '\\Mailbox - IPhone'. @error = " & @error)
Global $aFolderDisplay[6][2] = [[$aFolder[0]],["","Folder object"],["","Default item type for the folder"],["", "StoreID where the folder resides"],["", "EntryID of the folder"],["", "Folder path"]]
$aFolderDisplay[1][0] = $aFolder[1]
$aFolderDisplay[2][0] = $aFolder[2]
$aFolderDisplay[3][0] = $aFolder[3]
$aFolderDisplay[4][0] = $aFolder[4]
$aFolderDisplay[5][0] = $aFolder[5]
_ArrayDisplay($aFolderDisplay, "Folder 'Outlook-UDF-Test\TargetFolder\Contacts' successfully accessed.")

But its coming up with error 4 -  4 - Specified folder could not be found. @extended is set to the index of the subfolder in error (1 = root folder)

I take it im looking in the wrong location for this calendar?

Try:

Global $aFolder = _OL_FolderAccess($oOutlook, "*\Mailbox - IPhone")

[cookiemonster]

 

Try:

Global $aFolder = _OL_FolderAccess($oOutlook, "*\Mailbox - IPhone")

Nope same issue; error 4

 

This calendar were trying to gain access to is under my calendars, but the other recipient that I want to add is a shared calendar, when I right click and select property's this other one doesn't have a location, that field in outlook is empty, so am I just looking at the wrong thing for the location I need?

To access a shared calendar you need to pass the name of the "user". Outlook then needs to resolve this name to access the shard calendar.

Global $aFolder = _OL_FolderAccess($oOL, "\\Cal B", $olFolderCalendar)

But Im lost on where to find the location of the calendar as when I right click and select propertys the location field is empty?

The location property doesn't help here.

Provide the "username" as I posted above and post the resulting @error and @extended if it doesn't work.

Global $oOutlook = _OL_Open()
Global $aFolder = _OL_FolderAccess($oOutlook, "\\On-Call", $olFolderCalendar)
If @error <> 0 Then Exit MsgBox(16, "OutlookEX UDF: _OL_FolderAccess Example Script", "Error accessing folder '\\On-Call'. @error = " & @error)
Global $aFolderDisplay[6][2] = [[$aFolder[0]],["","Folder object"],["","Default item type for the folder"],["", "StoreID where the folder resides"],["", "EntryID of the folder"],["", "Folder path"]]
$aFolderDisplay[1][0] = $aFolder[1]
$aFolderDisplay[2][0] = $aFolder[2]
$aFolderDisplay[3][0] = $aFolder[3]
$aFolderDisplay[4][0] = $aFolder[4]
$aFolderDisplay[5][0] = $aFolder[5]
_ArrayDisplay($aFolderDisplay, "Folder 'Outlook-UDF-Test\TargetFolder\Contacts' successfully accessed.")

Im now getting @error = 3

3 - Error accessing specified folder

and its created a new calendar under shared calendars called 'Calendar - On-Call' the one im trying to access is just 'On-Call'

[water]

Can you please post or PM me a screenshot of your folder tree with the foler selected you want to access? Make sensitive data unreadable if needed.

[cookiemonster]

PM'ed you the screenshot cheers

[water]

Thanks - will have a look.

[water]

How about this?

Global $aFolder = _OL_FolderAccess($oOL, "\\On-Call\", $olFolderCalendar)

[cookiemonster]

Do I not need 

$oOutlook

rather than 

$oOL

$oOL brings up function not found error

but $oOutlook works as expected.

Sent you another pm screenshot, its created an additional calendar again

[water]

Correct, you need the object for the Outlook application. In your case: $oOutlook.

[cookiemonster]

Thought so, you should have that other screenshot now, got stuck on the phone

[water]

So

Global $aFolder = _OL_FolderAccess($oOutlook, "\\On-Call\", $olFolderCalendar)

works and doesn't return an error?

[cookiemonster]

Yeh it works but its creating a new calendar under shared calendars called 'Calendar - On-Call' rather than using the 'On-Call' calendar thats already there

[water]

But both "On-Call" entries access the same calendar (show the same content)?
