Programatically creating calendar entry from delegate to owner'scalendar

[GR]

Hi,

I have an Outlook Add-In that gets installed into a user's Outlook.
When they press the toolbar button it brings up a custom form (based
on the meeting form) and when they hit send it is saved into their
calendar.

Now that that works,I would like to be able to have a person that is a
delegate of someone elses calendar be able to create this new calendar
entry and have it saved in the owner's mailbox.

Right now, when the delegate is viewing the owner's calendar and
presses the Add-In button (which is actually on the delegates toolbar)
and then saves the new calendar entry, it is saved in the delegate's
calendar and NOT the owner's calendar.

Of course, when I do the same thing but using the standard built-in
Outlook New Meeting function, it works as I would like to have my Add-
In work. That is, the meeting is scheduled on the owner's calendar.

Can anyone give me some advice on whether this can be done and/or
point me in the right direction on where to research this further? I'm
wondering if there are certain flags that need to be set on the
appointmnet item when I create it to indicate it is being created by a
delegate on behalf of another user?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

The code sample at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=43 shows how to add an appointment to another user's Calendar using the MAPIFolder.Items.Add method. It's for VBA, but should be adaptable to your add-in.
