SYMPTOMS
When you programmatically use Collaboration Data Objects (1.2, 1.21) to accept meeting requests, the AppointmentItem that is saved to the attendee's calendar does not retain the value in the Categories field.



CAUSE
Not all of the fields are copied over when a meeting request is accepted programmatically.



RESOLUTION
Set the Categories field of the AppointmentItem programmatically after you accept the meeting request. The following sample code demonstrates how to do this:

Sample Code
' The following code assumes that objMeeting is a valid meeting request ' object, that is, objMeeting.MeetingType = CdoMeetingRequest.

Set objMeetingResponse = objMeeting.Respond(CdoResponseAccepted) objMeetingResponse.Text = "OK, I'll be there" objMeetingResponse.Send

Set objAppointmentItem = objMeeting.GetAssociatedAppointment objAppointmentItem.Categories = objMeeting.Categories objAppointmentItem.Update
