Hi Guys

A bit new to this.

I've created a special button to launch the creation of a new appointment.

1) How do I catch the event of saving an appointment? I need to call a web service after an appointment is created, or reopened and saved.

2) Also, is there a easy way to distinguish appointments that I created (launched from my button) from ones that was created using normal functionality?

Kind Regards
Johan Locke

Hi Johan.

1) You would use the Write event of Outlook.ItemEvents interface. The Write event occurs when an Outlook item is saved.

2) Try to use the Categories property of Outlook.AppointmentItem class to distinguish this.

Hi Sergey

Thanx for the Category tip.

Now, slap me with a dead fish and call me pretty, but I have got absolutely no idea how I should add my custom handler for the "ItemEvents_WriteEventHandler" event.

Cheers
