I am trying to create a tool to select all appointments that exist, begin or
end within a specific time frame. I have searched the KB, the web and now
these newsgroups and no where does there seem to be any examples of how to
create the AdvancedSearch filter syntax for anything but email. They also are
limited to one field searches.

All of the examples for creating the filter string I've seen start with
"urn:schemas:httpmail:subject" But what do I use for appointments? Where do I
find a list of available schemas? Also what is the syntax for creating
multiple criteria using the End, Start, and Recurrence properties?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

The easiest way to answer these questions is to create a filtered view that shows you the data you're interested in and then look at the SQL tab of the View dialog to get the DASL query string. For complex queries, a query builder is available. See http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2004/20040927.htm
