Example

This Visual Basic for Applications example uses GetRecurrencePattern to obtain the RecurrencePattern object for the newly-created AppointmentItem. The properties, RecurrenceType, DayOfWeekMask, PatternStartDate, PatternEndDate, Duration, StartTime, EndTime, and Subject are set, the appointment is saved and then displayed with the pattern: "Occurs every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday effective 7/10/2006 until 8/25/2006 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM."

Sub RecurringAppointmentEveryMondayWednesdayFriday() 
 
 Dim oAppt As AppointmentItem 
 
 Dim oPattern As RecurrencePattern 
 
 Set oAppt = Application.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem) 
 
 Set oPattern = oAppt.GetRecurrencePattern 
 
 With oPattern 
 
 .RecurrenceType = olRecursWeekly 
 
 .DayOfWeekMask = olMonday Or olWednesday Or olFriday 
 
 .PatternStartDate = #7/10/2006# 
 
 .PatternEndDate = #8/25/2006# 
 
 .Duration = 60 
 
 .StartTime = #2:00:00 PM# 
 
 .EndTime = #3:00:00 PM# 
 
 End With 
 
 oAppt.Subject = "Recurring Appointment Monday Wednesday Friday" 
 
 oAppt.Save 
 
 oAppt.Display 
 
End Sub

Similar to the last example, this Visual Basic for Applications example also uses GetRecurrencePattern to obtain the RecurrencePattern object for the newly-created AppointmentItem. The properties, RecurrenceType, DayOfWeekMask, PatternStartDate, PatternEndDate, Duration, StartTime, EndTime, and Subject are set, the appointment is saved and then displayed with the pattern: "Occurs every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday effective 7/10/2006 until 8/4/2006."

Sub RecurringEventEveryWeekday() 
 
 Dim oPattern As Outlook.RecurrencePattern 
 
 Dim oAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem 
 
 Set oAppt = Application.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem) 
 
 Set oPattern = oAppt.GetRecurrencePattern 
 
 With oPattern 
 
 .RecurrenceType = olRecursWeekly 
 
 .DayOfWeekMask = olMonday Or olTuesday Or olWednesday Or olThursday Or olFriday 
 
 .PatternStartDate = #7/10/2006# 
 
 .PatternEndDate = #8/4/2006# 
 
 .Duration = 1440 'Duration in minutes, for all day event = 24 * 60 
 
 .StartTime = #12:00:00 AM# 
 
 .EndTime = #12:00:00 AM# 
 
 End With 
 
 oAppt.Subject = "Recurring Event Every Weekday" 
 
 oAppt.Save 
 
 oAppt.Display 
 
End Sub
