the following page on the World Wide Web: http://www.microsoft.com/support/supportnet/overview/overview.asp In Outlook, you can create a recurring appointment, such as a meeting that occurs every Monday. Using Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) or Visual Basic for Applications code, you can do either of the following:
When programmatically referring to a group of appointments, these items are part of the Items collection object. Once you have set an object variable to the entire collection of items, you can then use the IncludeRecurrences property to optionally include all of the recurring appointments. Next you would typically use the Restrict method if you want to use a subset of the entire collection. Then you could optionally sort the collection. The following automation example assumes you have already set up one recurring appointment in your calendar and that you have the Calendar folder selected. Because it does not use the Restrict method, it will return all appointments in the Calendar.
