[WD12] Problem adding a task to Outlook

I'm using WD12 and Outlook 2003. If I write a task to Outlook with a startdate and enddate with valid dates (i.e. july 14 or different dates), all looks OK. There is still a problem. I never get a valid enddate in my tasks.

Is it me doing something wrong, is it Outlook 2003 or is this a bug in WinDev?

Has anyone noticed this problem too?

It becoms more strange now. I noticed that if I use i.e. july 4, 2009 as startdate a task is added in Outlook with startdate july 3, 2009. So what date I use, the task in Outlook got a startdate with a value of one day earlier.

Am I doing something wrong ?

Hi Stefan,

I use the following code and i don't have that problem (outlook 2007) :

//Datum11 is an editfield in the window.
//this is the code executed when pressing the button 'btn_outlook

h_sessionid is int = OutlookStartSession("")
IF h_sessionid <= 0 THEN
Error()
ReturnToCapture(btn_outlook)
END

AppointmentReset()
mAppointment.Subject = "Subject"
mAppointment.StartDate = DateToString(Datum11,"YYYYMMDD")+"09000"
mAppointment.EndDate = DateToString(Datum11,"YYYYMMDD")+"10000"
mAppointment.Category = "OpenAdmin"
mAppointment.Location = "Address"
mAppointment.ReminderBefore = 15
IF AppointmentAdd(h_sessionid) = True THEN
AppointmentRead(h_sessionid,mAppointment.ID)
ELSE
Error("Error during the addition", ErrorInfo())
END
CloseSession(h_sessionid)

Hi Walter,

if I don't set AutoReminder to true, I do not have the problem, but if I set AutoReminder to true, to get a reminder i.e. 15 minutes before the starttime of the appointment, the problem occurs. Have you tried the same thing with the option AutoReminder set to true ?

Can you try it for me, please ?

When I use Date-Time values (in format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS) the startdate in the task(s) got the exact values. So that problem is solved. It's the same for the mTaskEnddate, the mTask.ReminderDate and the mTask.Deadline !

Take care, in the helpfile (WD12) is as variable type 'date' mentioned and not date and time !
