Creating an Outlook Appointment on a shared calender

[dsk96m]

I am trying to create an appointment on a shared calender in public folders. I need to create the appointment and then send to the required and optional people. I am getting it to create the appointment, but it isnt sending the invite.

Here is my code. I have been searching all day for a solution before posting here, but I am losing my mind.

    Private Sub add_to_outlook(ByVal calendarpath As String(), ByVal br As Object)
        Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
        Dim olNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
        Dim olPublicFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
        Dim olAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem


        olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
        olNameSpace = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
        olPublicFolder = olNameSpace.Folders("Public Folders")
        For i As Integer = 0 To calendarpath.Length - 1
            If calendarpath(i) <> "" And calendarpath(i) <> "Public Folders" Then
                olPublicFolder = olPublicFolder.Folders.Item(calendarpath(i))
            End If
        Next
        olAppt = olPublicFolder.Items.Add

        With olAppt
            .Subject = ("Requested: " & br.project_name & "-" & Me.typeCombobox.SelectedValue)
            .Location = br.bench_name
            .Body = (br.notes)
            .Start = CDate(br.requestdate & " " & br.start_time)
            .ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 15
            .ReminderSet = True
            .Duration = DateDiff(DateInterval.Hour, (br.requestdate & " " & br.start_time), (br.requestdate & " " & br.end_time))


            For Each recip As String In br.requiredengineers
                reqatt = reqatt & ";" & recip
                .Recipients.Add(recip)
                .Recipients(recip).Type = CInt(Outlook.OlMeetingRecipientType.olRequired)
            Next
            reqatt = Mid(reqatt, 2)
            .RequiredAttendees = reqatt


            For Each recip As String In br.optionalengineers
                optatt = optatt & ";" & recip
                .Recipients.Add(recip)
                .Recipients(recip).Type = CInt(Outlook.OlMeetingRecipientType.olOptional)
            Next
            optatt = Mid(optatt, 2)
            .OptionalAttendees = optatt


            .Recipients.ResolveAll()
            .Categories = "Yellow Category"
            .ResponseRequested = True
            .BusyStatus = Outlook.OlBusyStatus.olBusy
            '.Save()
            .Move(olPublicFolder)
            .Send()
        End With
