Hello All,

I found a macro that creates an outlook appointment, this code works perfectly inside a module. I then copied this code and pasted it inside a command button in a userform, but when I run the form and click on the button, nothing happens as if there's no code inside the button. I've searched the web for an answer to no avail. Can someone help? Also, the working module is a public sub just in case this info is necessary. Here's the code inside the command button:

Code:
Public Sub CreateAppointment()
  
  Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
  Dim oNameSpace As NameSpace
  Dim oItem As AppointmentItem
      
  On Error Resume Next
  ' check if Outlook is running
  Set oApp = GetObject("Outlook.Application")
  If Err <> 0 Then
    'if not running, start it
    Set oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
  End If
  
  Set oNameSpace = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
  
  Set oItem = oApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
  
  
  
  With oItem
  
    .subject = "This is the subject"
    .Start = "31/05/2011 11:45"
    
    .AllDayEvent = True
    .Importance = olImportanceNormal
    .Categories = "Green Category"
    
    .ReminderSet = True
    .ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = "15"
    .ReminderPlaySound = True
    .ReminderSoundFile = "C:\Windows\Media\Ding.wav"
    
    Select Case 1 ' do you want to display the entry first or save it immediately?
      Case 1
        .Display
      Case 2
        .Save
    End Select
  
  End With
    
  Set oApp = Nothing
  Set oNameSpace = Nothing
  Set oItem = Nothing
     
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
What do you see if you double click the button on the userform when you are in design mode?

You don't see anything like this?
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

End Sub

Yes, I see this:

Code:
[Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
  
  Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
  Dim oNameSpace As NameSpace
  Dim oItem As AppointmentItem
      
  On Error Resume Next
  ' check if Outlook is running
  Set oApp = GetObject("Outlook.Application")
  If Err <> 0 Then
    'if not running, start it
    Set oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
  End If
  
  Set oNameSpace = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
  
  Set oItem = oApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
  
  
  
  With oItem
  
    .subject = "This is the subject"
    .Start = "31/05/2011 11:45"
    
    .AllDayEvent = True
    .Importance = olImportanceNormal
    .Categories = "Green Category"
    
    .ReminderSet = True
    .ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = "15"
    .ReminderPlaySound = True
    .ReminderSoundFile = "C:\Windows\Media\Ding.wav"
    
    Select Case 1 ' do you want to display the entry first or save it immediately?
      Case 1
        .Display
      Case 2
        .Save
    End Select
  
  End With
    
  Set oApp = Nothing
  Set oNameSpace = Nothing
  Set oItem = Nothing

End Sub

Does the code run when you click the command button?

You can find that out by putting a breakpoint on the the first line of code using F9, running the userform and clicking the button.
