Creating vCalendar items

[emozley]

Hi,

Is it possible to create a vCalendar file and then send it via email using CDONTS? I have looked at the structure of the file and it looks fairly simple just not sure how to do the send as an attachment part.

Thanks very much

Ed

Well, if you know the format, than it ought t be fairly easy to create a temporary file using the FileSystemObject. As far as the CDONTS atchment thing, take a look at the third example on this page:

Another option would be to use CDOSYS, since CDONTS was deprecated and isn't installed on anything newer than 2000. CDOSYS is the replacement for CDONTS and should be available on windows 2000, XP,and 2003. Here's a link to a sample with attachments:

Hope that helps,

Nice one cheers that has worked very neatly. I believe that Outlook has some custom properties beyond the standard vCalendar standard. I don't suppose anyone knows how to make it so when you open the calendar entry the attendees are already typed in?

Thanks again
