Outlook 2011 bug from recent update?


  • Subject: Outlook 2011 bug from recent update?

Is anyone else having an issue with Outlook for Mac 2011 recent update breaking the ability to create a new calendar event?

I’m now getting the error

error "Microsoft Outlook got an error: Can’t make class calendar event." number -2710 from calendar event to class


My AppleScript was working before the update to create the new calendar event and still works on the current Outlook for Mac 2016.

Here is my code. All of the properties (subject, content, start time, and end time) are correctly formed.

set listContents to get the clipboard
set delimitedList to paragraphs of listContents
if listContents contains "Time: " and listContents contains "Subject: " and listContents contains "Duration: " and listContents contains "Date: " then
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
	repeat with vLineText in delimitedList
		set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {": "}
		if vLineText begins with "Date: " then set startDate to last text item of vLineText
		if vLineText begins with "Subject: " then set theSummary to last text item of vLineText
		if vLineText begins with "Time: " then set startTime to last text item of vLineText
		if vLineText begins with "Duration: " then set vDuration to last text item of vLineText
		set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
	end repeat

	set startDate to startDate & " " & startTime
	set theDescription to listContents
	set startDate to date startDate
	set endDate to startDate + (vDuration * minutes)
	set theSummary to "Conference Call: " & startDate & " - " & theSummary

	tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
		set vEventInfo to make new calendar event with properties {subject:theSummary, plain text content:theDescription, start time:startDate, end time:endDate}
		go to startDate --optional to scroll to event
		open vEventInfo
	end tell
else
	display dialog "Error: Clipboard did not contain a calendar invitation"
end if

Thank you,
Bill Vlahos
