Instead of CreateItem, call the New command from the menu/toolbar. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=616

Michael,

Thank you for you reply.
But it doesn't work.
When I create a new appointment with:
loAppointment = Application.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
I always get todays date in the start date.

The Calendar View is of type Day/Week/Month in the Month view.
When a day is highlighted, I want to know what that day is in VBA. Isn't
there any property field in the CalendarView object, which I missed?

Create a new AppointmentItem by code, don't call its Save method but read
its start date.

In Calendar view in Outlook 2007, I want to retreive the date of the day I
selected. When I double-click on a date the appointment-form comes up with
the right date filled in. What I want to do is selecting a day and
clicking a
toolbar-button with a vba-script behind it, that uses that day for further
handling.

Can someone help me please?
