■ To move a meeting half an hour earlier and give it a different (90 minute)
duration:
GetRoot().calendar:MoveAppointment(
"lunch with Ellen",
StringToDate("6/30/95 12:00pm"),
StringToDate("6/30/95 11:30am"),
90);
MoveOnlyOneAppointment works just like MoveAppointment except that if
it finds a nonexception instance of a repeating meeting or event that fits the criteria,
it moves only that instance.
MoveAppointment would move all the
nonexceptions in that case.
■ To move a single occurrence of a repeating meeting:
GetRoot().calendar:MoveOnlyOneAppointment(
"design meeting",
StringToDate("11/13/95 10:30am"),
StringToDate("11/14/95 2:00pm"),
nil);
The IncrementMonth function can be especially useful when moving
appointments.
■ This example moves an appointment two months ahead:
GetRoot().calendar:MoveAppointment(
"lunch with Ellen",
StringToDate("6/30/95 12:00pm"),
IncrementMonth(StringToDate("6/30/95 11:30am"),2),
nil);
