Re: Outlook and Coldfusion
I'll now revise my answer to this. iCalendar (which is essentially vCal v2.0) is able to cope with all the complexities of scheduling and all the other Outlook goodies. I just wrote a few methods to deal with it. Export an Outlook appointment by forwarding it as iCalendar (from the ations menu of the open appointment) to see the format. Since I can hear Jochem saying (in Dutch, no doubt), Read the goddam RFC, here it is: http://www.imc.org/rfc2445 http://www.imc.org/rfc2445 and more info here: http://www.imc.org/pdi/ http://www.imc.org/pdi/ vCal is the standard format and cflib.org has a function for dealing with it, but in Outlook all the appointment stuff will be obscured inside MS' proprietary TNEF standard - I'd be surprised if this were easily reproducible. Check out the vCal standard. 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. James Holmes Divisional Web Interface Development Coordinator Engineering, Science and Computing x4864 ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: Outlook and Coldfusion
Thanks. Redoing our calendars is a project that will probably come up in the next year and this could be helpful. -Kevin -Original Message- From: James Holmes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 5:50 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Outlook and Coldfusion I'll now revise my answer to this. iCalendar (which is essentially vCal v2.0) is able to cope with all the complexities of scheduling and all the other Outlook goodies.

RE: Outlook and Coldfusion
One of the biggest problem with Outlook is that it can't subscribe to an internet-based calendar or import an icalendar file that contains more than one event. In comparison, Apple's iCal lets you subscribe to published calendar files, publish your own and supports a limitless number of events per file. I was planning a huge calendar system for work that would have Outlook integration via icalendar and was terribly disappointed to find out how bad Outlook was with calendaring. So watch out, Outlook sucks for calendar support. -- Damien McKenna - Web Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Limu Company - http://www.thelimucompany.com/ - 407-804-1014 #include stdjoke.h ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

What is the file required in order to create the object? I think what you're trying to do will only affect the copy of Outlook installed on the CF server, if any. Since that's not going to be especially helpful to you, you might consider using the iCalendar format instead, which lets you generate text files (something that CF's good at) and send them to end-users.
