Dear Sue

Did u mean about MSDN help. I was trying to serach from google as well. I
ended up with following code but it does not seems checking availability for
me.

Dim strFreeBusy, strFreeBusyTemp, strFreeBusyTemp2, strFreeBusy2 As String
Dim iCurrentSlotStart, iCurrentSlotEnd, iBusySlot As Integer

For Each oRecipient As Outlook.Recipient In m_olAppointmentItem.Recipients
strFreeBusy = oRecipient.FreeBusy(CDate(m_olAppointmentItem.Star t),
1, False)
iCurrentSlotStart = Int(DateDiff("n",
CDate(m_olAppointmentItem.Start), CDate(m_olAppointmentItem.Start)) \ 1)
iCurrentSlotEnd = Int(DateDiff("n",
CDate(m_olAppointmentItem.End), CDate(m_olAppointmentItem.End)) \ 1)
strFreeBusyTemp = Left(strFreeBusy, iCurrentSlotEnd)
strFreeBusyTemp2 = StrReverse(strFreeBusyTemp)
strFreeBusy2 = StrReverse(Left(strFreeBusyTemp2,
Len(strFreeBusyTemp2) - iCurrentSlotStart))
iBusySlot = InStr(1, strFreeBusy2, "1")

If iBusySlot 0 Then
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Resource not
available", "vMeeting for Outlook", Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.OK)
Exit Sub
End If
Next

Highly apprecitae if you could help me bit more in this. or could you please
send me links to articles describing this if possible. Thank you very much

Take a look at the Recipient.GetFreeBusy method, which is well documented in Help. That's what you'll need to use to check resource availability.

Hi
We are using outlook custom form to shedule web conferences. My problem is
when we slect a vedio site ( as a resource/location) and if it is alrady
booked for the specified time , then I got a outlook message

as an example :
"Arctic Ocean room is already booked for specified time. You must find
another resource or find a nother time"

I am getting this message after shceduling my meeting on the bridge abd
saving data on the databse. And meeting is not scheduled on the calendar.
What I want is to check resource availability before doing anything else.
may I know whether it is possible, if so could you pls advice me how to do
this.
