MeetingRequestItem Object

Description

Represents an item in an Inbox (mail) folder. A MeetingRequestItem object represents a change to the recipient's Calendar folder initiated by another party or as a result of a group action.

Using the MeetingRequestItem Object

Unlike other Outlook objects, you cannot create this object or find an existing one in the Items collection. It is created automatically when you set the MeetingStatus property of an AppointmentItem object to olMeeting and sending it to one or more users. The following example creates an appointment and turns it into a meeting request with both a required and an optional attendee.

Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
myItem.MeetingStatus = olMeeting
myItem.Subject = "Strategy Meeting"
myItem.Location = "Conference Room B"
myItem.Start = #9/24/97 1:30:00 PM#
myItem.Duration = 90
Set myRequiredAttendee = myItem.Recipients.Add("Nate Sun")
myRequiredAttendee.Type = olRequired
Set myOptionalAttendee = myItem.Recipients.Add("Kevin Kennedy")
myOptionalAttendee.Type = olOptional
Set myResourceAttendee = _
    myItem.Recipients.Add("Conference Room B")
myResourceAttendee.Type = olResource
myItem.Send

Use the GetAssociatedAppointment method to return the AppointmentItem object associated with a MeetingRequestItem object, and work directly with the AppointmentItem object to respond to the request.
