Remarks

The object specified by the CurrentItem property of the parent Inspector object must be an AppointmentItem or MeetingItem.

Example

The following code sample in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) shows how to use the SetSchedulingStartTime method to set the scheduling start time on the Scheduling Assistant tab of an AppointmentItem. The appointment start time is set to one month from now, and the scheduling start time is also set to one month from now.

Sub DemoSetSchedulingStartTime() 
 
 Dim oAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem 
 
 Dim oInsp As Outlook.inspector 
 
 
 
 ' Create and display appointment. 
 
 Set oAppt = Application.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem) 
 
 oAppt.MeetingStatus = olMeeting 
 
 oAppt.Subject = "Test Appointment" 
 
 oAppt.Start = DateAdd("m", 1, Now) 
 
 ' Display the appointment in the Appointment tab of the inspector. 
 
 oAppt.Display 
 
 
 
 Set oInsp = oAppt.GetInspector 
 
 ' Switch to the Scheduling Assistant tab in that inspector. 
 
 oInsp.SetCurrentFormPage ("Scheduling Assistant") 
 
 ' Set the appointment start time in the Scheduling Assistant. 
 
 oInsp.SetSchedulingStartTime (DateAdd("m", 1, Now)) 
 
End Sub
