Scripting problem with appointments and contacts

[jcosgrove]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Outlook programming, so I'm looking for tips on how to get started.

Basically, when our user makes an appointment that includes a resource listed as a contact (like a conference phone) we want a box to popup that allows them to enter in the conference code. After that, we want to do some quick validation on the code, and then copy that code into the description of the meeting.

Would anyone be able to give me some tips to get started?

Thanks!
Jon

Hi,

So does this mean that the "contact" name is like 999-999-9999?

Or WHAT?

Hi Skip,

The display name is listed as "Conference Phone" and we can schedule that as an attendee to a meeting. Doing that will reserve the conference line for that time.

Is that more clear?

Thanks!
Jon

if resource = "Conference Phone" then
   sConfCode = inputbox("Enter Conference Code")
else
   sConfCode = ""
end if

Thank you Skip, would you be able to tell me (or point me in the direction of a tutorial) that would enable me to get that code in there?

Thanks!
Jon
