Incidentally the Excel version would be as follows - and that too requires a
reference to Outlook.

Sub AddOutlookApptmnt()
Dim ol As New Outlook.Application
Dim ci As AppointmentItem
Dim strDate As String
Dim strDocPath As String
Dim strDocName As String

strDate = DateAdd("m", 1, Date)
strDate = DateAdd("d", 15, strDate)
With ActiveWorkbook
On Error GoTo CancelledByUser
.Save
strDocPath = .FullName
strDocName = .Name
End With
Set ci = ol.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
With ci
.Start = strDate
.ReminderSet = True
.AllDayEvent = True
.Subject = strDocName
.Categories = "Excel Documents"
.Body = strDocPath & " requires processing."
.BusyStatus = olFree
.Save
End With
Set ol = Nothing
Exit Sub
CancelledByUser: 'Error handler
MsgBox "Cancelled By User", , "Operation Cancelled"
End Sub
