Modules & VBA :: Outlook Calendar Category Colour
May 1, 2014
I have been using the below code for a number of years to send reminders to Outlook and colour them red (my category colour for certain items).
I've been asked to roll out this code to all members of my dept but the category for other people assigned to the red colour is different to mine.
Is there a way to colour the item using the colour name rather than the category name?
Set OutlookApt = Outlook.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
With OutlookApt
.Subject = MailSubject
.start = Dte
.End = DateAdd("h", 1, Dte)

I use the code below which creates an appointment in Outlook default calendar. I need to add a few lines to create the appointment to an alternative calendar in the same pst file. I need to choose between three calendars in which to create the appointment and plan to select the calendar name from a list on the form.
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objAppt = objOutlook.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)

I am very new to VBA. I found some code that will allow me to add an appointment to my personal calendar with using access VBA and it works great. It also allows me to add an appointment to another calendar created under "My Calendars" folder.
I wanted to know how to change the code in order to add the appointment to the SHARED calendar instead.
The main folder is called "Shared Calendars" which is at the same level as the default "My Calendars" folder. Under the "Shared Calendars" folder the calendar is called "Tester".
Here is the code im using at the moment: I believe I have have to change the line of code that is in red but I don't know how.
Private Sub cmdAddAppt_Click()
On Error GoTo cmdAddAppt_Err
Dim outobj As Outlook.Application
Dim outappt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim olNS As Outlook.NameSpace
[Code] ....

I have been able to successfully set up code to be able to add appointments to microsoft outlook based on data within a few forms that I have. My question is this however, how do I get access to make that appointment to a specific calendar on outlook. This calendar is a shared calendar. Currently, access is just adding the appointments to "My Calendar" and I could like it to place the appointment on "HVCalendar". a version of the code I found online is listed below:
Private Sub btnaddappttooutlook_Click()
'On Error GoTo ErrHandle
Dim olNS As Object
Dim olApptFldr As Object
' Save the Current Record
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
[code]...

Hi everyone,
I wanted to know if there's a way to implement a calendar in MS Access? In other words, I'd like to create a calendar that act the same way as the Outlook calendar? At first I tought about the calendar control 8.0, but we can't write anything in a square date of the calendar. So , I'm out of idea.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Is it possible?
My departments wants a calendar that reminds us when a certain date is approaching.
MS Outlook has that calendar.
Can we integrate them somehow? Or do I have to write something in Access(is it even possible).
Or do I just have to look at different software out there?

A client I am working for wants a calendar to interact with their database forms, I am thinking outlook would be the best bet, as a table and form to make my own in access would be overly complicated. Is there any way to embed a calendar from outlook within an access form?

I have developed an Access database which keeps track of items we have received. What I want to do is enter a date in a field and then by clicking a button that date and the name of the item gets enetered into my Outlook calendar so that it will pop up a reminder on that date.
I have no idea if/how this can be done. Any ideas or examples very much appreciated.

I have a folder under the default on in outlook named ANOTHER FOLDER. All I am trying to do is add the blasted entry to this folder. At the moment though it is adding the information to the default calendar and not ANOTHER FOLDER. I'm just testing at the moment but I have tried all manner of combination but no dice.
Code:
'Error 429 occurs with GetObject if Outlook is not running.
On Error Resume Next
Set objOutlook = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err.Number = 429 Then 'Outlook is NOT running.

I created a call logging/work tracking type Database using SharePoint 2007 lists for the backend and Access 2013 front end for about 60 users and it has been running smoothly for around two years .
We use a shared outlook calendar and I want to be able to pull meetings & appointment information into the database from the calendar so I can assign the meetings out to specific people and keep of a record that they where given the request to attend. I was able to use the import outlook folder to create a linked table and it has lots of great information from the calendar apart from the two most important things you need in a calendar Start_time & End_Time . Is there something I'm missing in regards to these two fields? I assume I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out what, nor did I have much luck with the Search function on here or google.
This is the list of field names it does import(everything apart from the meeting time and is it a recurring appointment)

I'm having trouble with my VBA module.I have a random test generator which pulls records based on a category from my table into a temp table using a make table query. I use the following code:
Private Sub Command2_Click()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "1", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.OpenReport "WrittenExam", acViewPreview, "", "", acNormal
Reports!WrittenExam.lblTitle.Caption = "Exam Name"
DoCmd.OpenReport "WrittenExamAnswerSheet", acViewPreview, "", "", acNormal
Reports!WrittenExamAnswerSheets.lblTitle.Caption = "Exam Name - Answer Sheet"
End Sub
My querry makes the table, and then generates two reports (my exam, and the answer sheet). I'm getting an error 3211, saying the temp table is already in use by another process when trying to generate both reports. I used a Macro before, but I have a need for custom report headings, so I'm using VBA.

Hi. I have managed to create a command button on my form to send a date field on the form to Outlook as a task. I know this isn't exactly what you wanted to do, but you may be able to tailor the code to suit.
Private Sub cmdOutlookRem_Click()
Dim OutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutlookTask As Outlook.TaskItem
Set OutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutlookTask = OutlookApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
With OutlookTask
.Subject = "Contact " & Me!Forename & " " & Me!Surname & ", " & Me!CompanyName
.Body = "Company Tel No: " & Me!CoTelNo & ", " & "Direct Line: " & Me!DirectLineinCo & ", " & "Mobile: " & Me!MobileNo
.ReminderSet = True
.ReminderTime = DateAdd("n", 2, Me!DateNextContact)
'Remind 2 minutes from now.
.DueDate = DateAdd("n", 5, Me!DateNextContact)
'Due 5 minutes from now.
.StartDate = DateAdd("n", 2, Me!DateNextContact)
.ReminderPlaySound = True
.ReminderSoundFile = "C:WindowsMediaDing.wav" 'Modify path.
.Save
End With
End Sub

I wish to work in Access 2010 with a subset of my Outlook 2010 contacts (all desktop- no network barriers), so I am exploring the Desktop Contacts DB found in Microsoft's templates. It passes contact data back and forth using the standard macros, but I wish to add more fields from Outlook. It seems I need to find the code associated with the macro. I believe I can solve the problem using a Linked table, but am wondering if there is another solution?
Calendar synchronization is another issue. Linking gets me to the Archive Calendars, but not the Current one in Outlook which is what I want.

I have access table that stores details as attached. Just to give an example how data is stored , I copied data from Access table to excelsheet. Now I would like to create a report that will run when a button is clicked on the form and the vba code should display the last 7 dates from todays dates in the report along with all the data and colour the record Green,Amber and Red depending upon the Update Date and Target Date. If the Target date exceeds then that records should be coloured "Red" and if todays date equals to Date then the record should be amber and if greater than Date but less than Target Date then it should be Green.
So the report should display the last 7 dates records from todays date and the appropriate color of each record to let everyone know if its under target, meets target etc.

I have a table that has banking information in it (downloaded from the internet). I have a category field (lookup field) that I have to update manually so, for example, every time the electric bill is paid I have to click it and change the category to "electricity".
I want to set up a table with phrases for access to search for and a category to change to. For example if the banking table has "VIS ELECTRICITY 20812/773474868" and my search criteria table says anything with the word "electricity" should have category of "electricity", then I want Access to update the banking table based on that.
There will be several items in the search criteria table so Access will have to read through all of them to find the correct one. Is this possible?

I have set calendar control 12.0 up and everything works how I want it to (click date and peoples names in a table to the left to show scheduled meetings on that day). What I want is to add a string on top of the calendar. For example, this monday I would like for it to say "Memorial Day" on the physical calendar itself.

A client wants to e-mail newsletters using a non-default Outlook account. The code below does everything the client needs except setting the SendUsingAccount. In debug I can see that the correct account is assigned, yet all of my testing results in e-mails where the From line is the default account. The test setup uses my own isolated SMTP server, so when I look at the e-mails sent the sender is the default account. The default account's Sent folder shows the sent mail, which is not what we want.
Code:
Sub prepEmail()
Dim frm As Form, startDate As Date, endDate As Date
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset, strSQL As String, intNewsLetter As Integer
Dim rsEmail As DAO.Recordset, rsNewsletters As DAO.Recordset
Dim OlApp As Object, ol As Object
Dim olMail As Object, olAcct, olAcctTemp

1. open outlook mail;
2. copy the email details into the database;
3. save the attachment into a E: drive location;
4. move the email to another folder.
