Outlook calendar scripted import

iaind · 14 Jul 2010 at 11:06

We've got an application here with some basic calendar funtionality built in which integrates with various other modules within the system.

I'd really love to integrate this with the users outlook calendars - getting the data out isnt a problem, I can probably create .csv calendar items fairly simply, but is there anyway of scripting an import into the users calendars or sending a meeting request? Exchange 07 and Outlook 03 if that makes a difference

Thanks all

We were in the same situation. We had our bespoke dairy package and wanted to sync the events into the Outlook calendar.

We successfully did this using the Exchange Web Service (EWS) and VB.Net.

Thats awesome, exactly what I needed.

Presume the vbs has to run on the exchange server?

Not at all any machine that has access to the Exchange server.

I think there are settings to control the web service access in Exchange somwhere.
