End Sub
Private Sub GItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim xMtRequest As MeetingItem
Dim xAppointmentItem As AppointmentItem
Dim xMtResponse As MeetingItem
If Item.Class = olMeetingRequest Then
    Set xMtRequest = Item
    Set xAppointmentItem = xMtRequest.GetAssociatedAppointment(True)
    If xAppointmentItem.GetOrganizer.Name = "Sender Name" Then
        With xAppointmentItem
            .ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 45
            .Categories = "Orange Category"
            .Save
        End With
        Set xMtResponse = xAppointmentItem.Respond(olMeetingAccepted)
        xMtResponse.Send
