I am willing to bet that this function has been overwritten in
Outlook. Check out the following object pointer to the MS Calendar
object:
"MSCAL.Calendar"
You can instantiate your object pointer by using GetObject or
CreateObject just as with other libraries, and you can use the Month,
Day, and Year properties of this class.
