Send Appointment VBA - vba

Question

So, I've been wrestling with this task for WAY too long now. I am trying to make a button that creates an appointment and sends it to someone. So far, I've been successful in creating the appointment with the variables I want, but I can't figure out how to send it to the right person. Or send it at all for that matter. I'm very new to Outlook applications within VBA, so be gentle with me, but here is my code so far:
Sub appt()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim duedate As String
Dim currentrow As String
Dim currentsheet As String
Dim owner As String
currentsheet = ActiveSheet.Name
currentrow = Range("C10:C" & Rows.Count).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Row
duedate = Range("C" & currentrow).Offset(0, 1)
owner = Range("C" & currentrow).Offset(0, 2)
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(1)
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.Recipients = Range("M3")
.Subject = "Next PDB Task for " & currentsheet
.Importance = True
.Start = "8:00 AM" & duedate
.End = "8:00 AM" & Format(Date + 5)
.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 10080
.Body = "Text and Stuff"
.Display
End With
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
Unload Emy
End Sub
So, this is definitely grabbing the information I want from the sheet it's run in, however it's not going anywhere. Do I need to use something other than .Recipients? Is it possible to forward this (with .Forward maybe?)? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
P.S. The email address I want to send the appointment to is in cell M3.

I didn't try the scripts, but it looks like they will do what you want.
Sub ResolveName()
Dim myNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myRecipient As Outlook.Recipient
Dim CalendarFolder As Outlook.Folder
Set myNamespace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myRecipient = myNamespace.CreateRecipient("Dan Wilson")
myRecipient.Resolve
If myRecipient.Resolved Then
Call ShowCalendar(myNamespace, myRecipient)
End If
End Sub
Sub ShowCalendar(myNamespace, myRecipient)
Dim CalendarFolder As Outlook.Folder
Set CalendarFolder = _
myNamespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder _
(myRecipient, olFolderCalendar)
CalendarFolder.Display
End Sub

Dim objModule As Outlook.CalendarModule
Dim objGroup As Outlook.NavigationGroup
Dim objNavFolder As Outlook.NavigationFolder
Dim objFolder As Folder
Dim calItem As Object
Dim mtgAttendee As Outlook.Recipient
Dim i As Integer
Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
DoEvents
Set objPane = Application.ActiveExplorer.NavigationPane

For i = 1 To objGroup.NavigationFolders.Count
If (objGroup.NavigationFolders.Item(i).Folder.FullFolderPath = "\\Mailbox - Doe, John T\Calendar") Then
Set objNavFolder = objGroup.NavigationFolders.Item(i)
Set calItem = objNavFolder.Folder.Items.Add(olAppointmentItem)
calItem.MeetingStatus = olMeeting
calItem.Subject = "Test Meeting - Ignore"
calItem.Location = "TBD Location"
calItem.Start = #1/19/2015 1:30:00 PM#
calItem.Duration = 90
Set mtgAttendee = calItem.Recipients.Add("John Doe")
mtgAttendee.Type = olRequired
Set mtgAttendee = calItem.Recipients.Add("Jane Doe")
mtgAttendee.Type = olOptional
Set mtgAttendee = calItem.Recipients.Add("CR 101")
