I need to add a custom script to process Outlook meeting requests. (see this question) The dropdown menu for selecting scripts is empty and there doesn't appear to be a way to add scripts. How can I add a script that will be available via Outlook's rules?

In Outlook go to Tools > Macro > visual Basic Editor

R-click on Project 1 and select Insert > Module

In Module1 add the following code:

Sub CustomMeetingRequestRule(Item As Outlook.MeetingItem)
    If Item.ReminderSet = False Then  
        Item.GetAssociatedAppointment(False).ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 15 
    End If
End Sub

Click on Save

Make your rule and the script should appear as a selection when you click on the 'a script' link.

The code should perform what you were after in your other question but haven't tested it.

Scripts in Outlook are also known as macros. I believe Alt+F11 will bring up the VBA script editor for Outlook macros.
