RecurrenceType Property

Returns or sets an OlRecurrenceType constant specifying the frequency of occurrences for the recurrence pattern. Read/write.

expression.RecurrenceType

expression     Required. An expression that returns a RecurrencePattern object.

Example

This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a task called "Oil Change" that recurs every three months and uses the Regenerate property to set it to regenerate after each recurrence.

Sub CreateTaskOilChange()
	Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
	Dim myItem As Outlook.TaskItem
	Dim myPattern As Outlook.RecurrencePattern
	Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
	Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
	Set myPattern = myItem.GetRecurrencePattern
	myPattern.RecurrenceType = olRecursMonthly
	myPattern.Regenerate = True
	myPattern.Interval = 3
	myItem.Subject = "Oil Change"
	myItem.Save
	myItem.Display
End Sub
		

If you use Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in a Microsoft Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.

Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(3)
Set myPattern = myItem.GetRecurrencePattern
myPattern.RecurrenceType = 2
myPattern.Regenerate = True
myPattern.Interval = 3
myItem.Subject = "Oil Change"
myItem.Save
myItem.Display
