Thanks Jimmy. I will give this a go.

Do I need to do this everytime I reference to a field on infopath? Can I perhaps set a global parameter?

Supposing you had a field in your form with the path my:myFields/my:startTime, where the user could fill in the meeting's starting time, the following would do the trick, as long as the value entered was valid:

Dim startTimeNode As XPathNavigator
startTimeNode = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("my:myFields/my:startTime", NamespaceManager)
agendaMeeting.Start = startTimeNode.ValueAsDateTime

Hi Please Help

I have started with the Infopath 2007 travel request sample. I have added a button to my form. I have successfully added visual basic code to the button so that when it is clicked then an Outlook Meeting Request is created and sent. However I want to for example reference the starting date of the Outlook meeting request to the starting date on the travel form. But I don't see anywhere a reference in the VB window to my list of fields on my Infopath form. I tried the me. without success. Do I need to add a data source or import source or reference in my VB window? My code is below. (I want to reference the agendaMeeting.Start = to an existing field on the Infopath form)

Thanks for your help with this.
