Delete an Appointment

[Dale L Martin]

Thanks to some previous notes on this newgroups, I have gotten a small
application I wrote in VB4 to add appointments to Outlook Calendar.

Now, can someone help me figure out how to delete an appointment?

I can't find anything in Help that tells me how to find the appointment to
then be able to delete it.

Thanks,

You can use the Find or Restrict method to find an item that meets particular criteria. Searching by date is tricky -- see http://www.slipstick.com/dev/finddate.htm . Once your application has returned a particular item, you can use the AppointmentItem.Delete method.

Sue,

Thanks. This newsgroup is amazing. One can ask a question and just a few
hours later have an answer in hand. While your's wasn't exactly the way I
found to do it, I did find an oblique reference to going through the
appointment folder items looking for keywords. I tried that and I have yet
to get an error. Cool!

I'll look into Find, though. That might be faster and more reliable.

Thanks again,

dale
