I'm (for the first time) developing a cross-office mini-app that includes
OL; this is also the first time I've been in an environment where different
levels of the libraries are co-existing, requiring me to use late binding.
So far, I like early binding a lot better :-/

I'm trying to get appointment information from OL using late binding. I've
used intellisense with the library referenced, and also explored (to my
limited understanding) the OL object model via OL VBA. Unfortunately, no
matter what I do, once I try to run my late binding code, it get "object
doesn't support this property or method" errors, and I haven't been able to
figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong.

So, I'm posting the relevant section of my code below, with hat in hand,
hoping someone can lend some syntax help. I appreciate any help you can
offer... if you want to be my hero, please also provide suggestions on
syntax to get the appointment subject, start date, end date, and duration as
well... I haven't even gotten that far yet...
