Grab Outlook Calendar 1

[ironhide1975]

Is there an ASP application that can grab an exchange calendar for display on a webpage?

That doesn't help if the users can't even use Outlook or they want the calendar displayed within the Intranet homepage.

ironhide,

I agree with you, it doesn't do any good if they don't have outlook. What i was searching for is a way to use asp to read the .pst file(calendar) and do my own display since this is on a public webserver not an intranet domain. The only option in outlook is to do a "save as webpage" which make a crappy looking static page. Seriously, you have to be color blind to enjoy those colors.

I did find a few websites that would charge a fee, but you upload the pst file and they display it with a special link. I could do a <iframe> and embed that page within mine. But i would rather have control of my file and display it how i like. Plus i'm not fond on paying a monthly fee. So this isn't an option.

The only thing i can see is maybe in Office 2010 or whenever the next office comes out, currently on 2007, they allow css to completely control the calendar colors. Currently it only controls a few things with hard coded colors on the rest. I don't have the time each week to "save as webpage" then open every page and do a find replace. uhhhh!!

There is a way to do this and the best result I have seen is with .net because it handles the permissions issue much easier, however you have to hope that the calendar and server is setup correctly. I don't know how to make the calendar change from anything but a single day either.

finally found a 'good looking' answer.

From Outlook
export calendar to a 'iCal' file

Google Calendars
setup the calendar option, it's free.
import the iCal file(see below)

My Website
use <ifram>

Done!
