Setting contact to appointment / journal item

[Beengie]

How do you set contacts for appointments and journal items?

[RobDog888]

You need to add a contact as a receipient of the appointment item.

oApptItem.Recipients.Add ("RobDog888")

do I need to create a recipient object?

BTW I am doing this with VBA
I am not sure if I am on the right track. I am confused when it comes to the "recipients" collection and "recipient" object when it relates to a journal item.

I tried to create a recipient object and add it to the journal item, but it did not work. The contacts field was empty when I opened the item in the Outlook UI.

Private Sub CreateJournalItem()
 
Dim objappitm As Outlook.JournalItem
Dim objRecip As Outlook.Recipient
 
Set objappitm = Outlook.CreateItem(olJournalItem)
Set objRecip = objappitm.Recipients.Add(cboContact.text)
 
objappitm.Companies = "Acme"
objappitm.Subject = txtSubject.Text
objappitm.Type = "Phone Call" & " (reveived)"
objappitm.Start = txtDate.Text & " " & txtTime.Text
objappitm.Duration = 30
 
objappitm.Recipients.Add objRecip 
 
objappitm.Save
 
End Sub

what's wrong with this code?

thanks for the help

I tried what you posted, but there is nothing in the contacts field for any example I try.

For the ContactItem you also need to do a .Recipients.ResolveAll
