Hi,

I have an action button, clicking on which I get a meeting added to my calendar.

I added the following code so that a message pops up reminding about the meeting.

Call cnote1.ReplaceItemValue (“$Alarm”, 1)

Call cnote1.ReplaceItemValue (“$AlarmDescription”, msg1)

Call cnote1.ReplaceItemValue (“$AlarmMemoOptions”, “”)

Call cnote1.ReplaceItemValue (“$AlarmOffset”, -1 )

cnote1.Alarms=“1”

cnote1.PutInFolder(“$Alarms”)

But this dsnt seem to work.

Any suggestions? Also I need to get the message 30 min prior of meeting. How can that be done

Ok a couple of things…

  • $AlarmOffset should be set to ‘-30’ for a 30 minute reminder.

  • You need to add ‘$AlarmUnit’ and set it to ‘M’ (for minutes)

By default Alarm notifications are not enabled so you need to enable them by performing the following procedure:

  • Click ‘Tools → Preferences’ at the top of the Calendar view. In the Preferences dialog box select ‘Calendar & ToDo → Alarms’ and make sure the ‘Enable the display of Alarm notifications’ option is enabled.

I also noticed the code you supplied doesn’t have the ‘Save’ method of NotesDocument called. Make sure you’re saving the doc.

Hope this helps.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your response.

I just want to ask that setting the Preferences by the procedure you explained, is that really necessary? Isn’t there any way that we can Enable the alarm in the preferences programatically?

The below code do not work for me at all. It do not display a reminder to me.

Set cnote1 = New NotesDocument (db)

msg1 = “Meeting for you folks”

Set date1 = New NotesDateTime(“28-NOV-06 08:00:00 AM EST Call In, Meeting start 08:00:00 AM EST” )

Set date2 = New NotesDateTime(“28-NOV-06 08:30:00 AM EST”)

cnote1.Body = msg1

cnote1.Form = “Appointment”

cnote1.AppointmentType = “3”

cnote1.StartDateTime = date1.LSLocalTime

cnote1.EndDateTime = date2.LSLocalTime

cnote1.StartDate = date1.LSLocalTime

cnote1.CalendarDateTime = date1.LSLocalTime

Call cnote1.ReplaceItemValue (“$Alarm”, 1)

Call cnote1.ReplaceItemValue (“$AlarmDescription”, msg1)

Call cnote1.ReplaceItemValue (“$AlarmMemoOptions”, “”)

Call cnote1.ReplaceItemValue (“$AlarmOffset”, -5)

Call cnote1.ReplaceItemValue (“$AlarmUnit”, “M”)

cnote1.Alarms = “1”

cnote1.ComputeWithForm False,False

cnote1.save True, True

cnote1.PutInFolder(“$Alarms”)

It places the meeting details on the calendar, but do not display the alarm 5 min prior to the meeting.

PLEASE can somebody help me with this.

Thanks in advance.
