Good afternoon --
I'd like to set up Outlook so that it knows that a particular appt/service
scheduled will take a particular length of time. That is, if I schedule
myself for a haircut, it'll take only 30 minutes (for the obvious
male-pattern reasons). However, if I schedule myself for psychotherapy,
it'll take about 2 hours (again, the obvious male-pattern reasons...). I'd
like to not have to remember to enter those times, so that I don't get
scheduled for a 2-hr haircut or a 30-minute psych session.

I already asked in Calendaring; I've written a bit of VBA code for Excel,
and wonder if there's already a feature or code I can start from.

TIA

See the VBA help file for the ItemAdd event. You might check a new item's
Subject and set the End property accordingly, e.g. add 30 minutes to the
Start property:

Item.End = DateAdd("n", 30, Item.Start)
Item.Save
