Hi howard,
I picked up and use this,,,
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Reminders()
     Dim startRow As Long, endRow As Long, ctr As Long
   
    Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim olAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
    Dim blnCreated As Boolean
    Dim olNS As Outlook.Namespace
    Dim CalFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Dim intCount As Long
    On Error Resume Next
    Set olApp = Outlook.Application
    If olApp Is Nothing Then
        Set olApp = Outlook.Application
         blnCreated = True
        Err.Clear
    Else
        blnCreated = False
    End If
      On Error GoTo 0
    Set olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set CalFolder = olNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
    startRow = 3
   For ctr = startRow To endRow
  Set olAppt = CalFolder.Items.Add(olAppointmentItem)
    With olAppt
        .Start = DateValue(Range("D" & ctr)) + TimeValue(Range("D" & ctr))
       ' .End = ?????
        .Duration = CLng(Range("G" & ctr)) ' 30
        .Subject = CStr(Range("H" & ctr)) ' subject text
       ' .Location = ????
       ' .Body = ????
        .BusyStatus = olBusy
       ' .ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = ????
        .ReminderSet = True
       ' .Categories = ?????
