Should have been copy and paste. For me it will not read
from the cell reference. Did you format 'B1' to 'date-
time'?

Not sure exactly what you mean by '... copy and past
this value into 'B1'
....', but I just ran it referring myItem.Start to range
("B1"), with a
date-time in B1 and it ran fine.

The code below works fine as is. However if I change the
value for the myItem.Start to 'Range("B1").value and
copy
and past this value into 'B1', it errors with 'Type
Mismatch: Unable to coerce parameter value ...
Tried .Text
same result different error. What am I missing here?

Sub AppointSet()
Dim myItem, myOlapp
Set myOlapp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myItem = myOlapp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
myItem.Subject = Range("A1") 'value is "Testing"
myItem.Location = "Conference Room B"
myItem.Start = #5/11/2004 10:00:00 AM#
myItem.Duration = Range("C1").Value 'value is 30
myItem.Save
End Sub

Thanks
