GetAssociatedAppointment Method

Returns an AppointmentItem object that represents the appointment associated with the meeting request.

expression   Required. An expression that returns a MeetingItem object.

AddToCalendar   Required Boolean. True to add the meeting to the default Calendar folder.

Example

This Visual Basic for Applications example finds a MeetingItem in the default Inbox folder and adds the associated appointment to the Calendar folder.

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = _
    myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myMtgReq = myFolder.Items.Find _
    ("[MessageClass] = 'IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Request'")
If TypeName(myMtgReq) <> "Nothing" Then
   Set myAppt = myMtgReq.GetAssociatedAppointment(True)
End If

If 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 myNameSpace = Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = _
    myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(6)
Set myMtgReq = myFolder.Items.Find _
    ("[MessageClass] = 'IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Request'")
If TypeName(myMtgReq) <> "Nothing" Then
   Set myAppt = myMtgReq.GetAssociatedAppointment(True)
End If

This example accepts a meeting request, sending the response without displaying the inspector.

Set myNewMeeting = myMtgReq.GetAssociatedAppointment(True)
myNewMeeting.Respond olResponseAccepted, True
