Remarks

A RecurrencePattern object obtains an individual pattern contained within the RecurrencePatterns collection. A RecurrencePattern object contains a set of properties used for rule specifications, such as DaysOfWeek, MonthsOfYear, and Frequency. For most recurring appointments and meetings, one pattern is sufficient; but to accommodate seasonal and time zone considerations additional patterns may be necessary.

To specify an exception, such as every Tuesday at 4 p.m. except 1/5/99, add an Exception object to an Exceptions collection.

The Appointment object's GetRecurringMaster method returns the master appointment that defines the recurring instance for that appointment.

Example

Public Sub RecurringMeetingRequest()
  Dim myAppt as New CDO.Appointment
  Dim RecPat as CDO.IRecurrencePattern
  Dim iAttendee  As Attendee

  With myAppt
    .Subject = "Investment Reviews"
    .StartTime = "1/6/99 10:30AM"
    .EndTime = "1/6/99 11:30AM"
    .Location = "Skybridge Atrium"
    Set iAttendee = myAppt.Attendees.Add
    iAttendee.Address = "someone@" & DomainName
    iAttendee.Role = cdoRequiredParticipant
    Set RecPat = .RecurrencePatterns.Add("ADD")
    RecPat.Frequency = cdoFrequencyWeekly
    RecPat.Occurences = 10
    .CreateRequest.Message.Send
  End With
 End Sub
