Use Outlook automation to change already existing appointment dates in Outlook calendar

Question

Hi guys,

After successfully creating a VB application to automate additions of appointment dates to Outlook calendar, I would now like to know how to change existing dates to another. My window uses a VB calendar control from which appointment items should come from. Is there an easier way and has anyone got any good code to help me carry out these changes?

many thanks!

Hi jjb1989,

Thanks for posting in the MSDN Forum.

I would now like to know how to change existing dates to another.

Would you please clarify it? I suppose you want to switch to other dates and retrieve whether there has appointments. Is it right? If it is, I would recommend you use MAPIFolder.Items.Redirecrt method to get the retrieve it.

If I have misunderstood anything, please feel free to let me know.

Have a good day,

Tom

Hi Tom Xu,

Yes that sounds correct. I basically want to find an existing appointment item in the calendar, retrieve it, and have the application change that selected date to one I specify.

I will research your link as well.

Many thanks for your help!
