Hi,

I can't work out what the error is on this vba code. It keeps getting to .SaveAs but getting a Run-time error '287'. Does anyone have any idea?

Code:
Function MailClient()
    Const Key As String = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\"
    Dim ws As Object
    On Error Resume Next
    Set ws = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    MailClient = ws.RegRead(Key)
End Function
Sub SetAppt()

    Dim olApp As Object
    Dim olApt As Object
    Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set olApt = olApp.CreateItem(1)
    With olApt
        .Start = Range("B4").Value + TimeValue("09:00:00")
        .End = .Start + TimeValue("00:30:00")
        .Subject = Range("A4").Value
        .Location = Range("E4").Value
        .Body = "insert guidance text here"
        .BusyStatus = olBusy
        .ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 40
        .ReminderSet = True
        .Display
        
        .SaveAs "C:\temp\day1.ics"
        
        'Use Close to retain the new appointment within the Outlook Calendar, or Delete to delete it.
        'Both options keep the just-created .ics file
        
        .Close False
        '.Delete
    
    End With
    Set olApt = Nothing
    Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub

Thanks,

Hi

It worked for me. You could try saving to a different drive to check if it is a permission issue.
