I use VBA regularly in Access, Excel and Word. Mostly in a programming sense
in Access and in Macros in Excel in Word. But when I looked at macros in
Outlook, I was at a loss. If I want to manipulate settings for various
objects (calendar, for example), surely I have to know the name of that
object. Yes?

In the other Office programs Access gives excellent VBA support and Excel
and Word allow you to record key strokes, which you can then modify, which
also is a good start.

Is there some special place to go to figure out the basics in Outlook? For
an easy example, if I wanted to change the view in Calendar from one time
zone to two time zones, it seems there should be some property to change,
such as
RobertCalendar.Time Zone1=PST
RobertCalendar.Time Zone2=EST

Or did Microsft leave this area essentially unsupported, requiring an
inordinate amount of research to utilize?

If you're new to Outlook VBA macros, these web pages should help you get started:

http://www.winnetmag.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=21522&pg=1
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/vb.htm

Note that many of the things you can do in the user interface have no programmatic equivalent, such as adding a time zone.
