This Visual Basic for Applications example uses GetRecurrencePattern to obtain the RecurrencePattern object for the newly-created AppointmentItem. The properties, RecurrenceType, DayOfWeekMask, PatternStartDate, Interval, PatternEndDate, and Subject are set, the appointment is saved and then displayed with the pattern: "Occurs every 3 week(s) on Monday effective 1/21/98 until 10/5/09 from 2:30 PM to 3:00 PM."
Set myOlApp = New Outlook.Application
Set myApptItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
Set myRecurrPatt = myApptItem.GetRecurrencePattern
myRecurrPatt.RecurrenceType = olRecursWeekly
myRecurrPatt.DayOfWeekMask = olMonday
myRecurrPatt.PatternStartDate = #1/21/98 2:00:00 PM#
myRecurrPatt.Interval = 3
myRecurrPatt.PatternEndDate = #12/21/2001 5:00:00 PM#
myApptItem.Subject = "Important Appointment"
myApptItem.Save
myApptItem.DisplayIf you use VBScript, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript.
Set myApptItem = Application.CreateItem(1)
Set myRecurrPatt = myApptItem.GetRecurrencePattern
myRecurrPatt.RecurrenceType = 1
myRecurrPatt.DayOfWeekMask = 2
myRecurrPatt.PatternStartDate = #1/21/98 2:00:00 PM#
myRecurrPatt.Interval = 3
myRecurrPatt.PatternEndDate = #12/21/2001 5:00:00 PM#
myApptItem.Subject = "Important Appointment"
myApptItem.Save
myApptItem.Display
