Button to create Outlook appointment

[Jim Shipley]

Can anyone get me started on how to create a button in FrontPage, that when
clicked, will create an Outlook appointment item for the user?

For example: User clicks button, up pops an appointment item with the
relevant information filled in (time, reminder, location...), they hit save
and close. Viola the appointment is in their calendar.

Using FrontPage 2003, and Outlook 2000, with Exchange 5.5. I am a FrontPage
beginner as far as vbscript programming...

Thanks,
Jim

Do yourself a favor and hire a programmer for this one, Jim. It requires
some fairly sophisticated programming skills.

Well, I am a programmer and I am proficient with VB, just not in the
FrontPage environment. Wouldn't this just be something like CreateObject
"outlooksomething...." and setting some properties? Or is this really a
pain...

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

You're a programmer! Well, that will help. As I've not done this, I can only
point you in the right direction. You would have to use the Outlook COM
programming model to do this. All of the Office apps come with COM objects
that can be used to programatically do everything that the app can do. There
are .chm files in the Office program folders for each app. Use the Outlook
COM object model in an ASP app.
