This is a timely topic for me as well. My collegues and I use outlook, but we've found ourselves maintaining a seperate ColdFusion based calendar. What would be very nice would be a way to sync everyone's calendars together. Or at very least have changes made on the ColdFusion calendar be somehow distributed out to the relevant party's Outlook calendars. It should be noted that for this project, many of us aren't in the same office or even the same company.
Also, if you use the COM objects, does outlook need to be installed on the server too?

Also, if you create a meeting request in Outlook and send it to a non-Microsoft mail client, you might be able to view the headers and find the information that requests accepts/declines, etc. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Mannion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 2:12 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Outlook & Coldfusion Does anyone know if this can be done: In outlook you can create appointments and send them to others for approval, like accept, decline etc. Is there anyway for a cfmail to send this type of appointment email? I don't think it can be that difficult, maybe just sending different types of headers? If anyone has see this done or has any advice please let me know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:195417 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
