Details, please. Is this for use within a single Exchange organization? Or
does it need to support all versions of Outlook in all mail environments?
Does the meeting request need to be sent with the user's credentials?

Hi,

Thanx for your prompt response.
This is not for single exchange organization. Yes, it has to support all
versions of Outlook.
If I am sending the meeting request from my machine it has to go as if I am
sending the meeting request (I think in other words it has to go with user's
credentials).
Is it possible to send the meeting request from the client machine, like I
want to invoke the Outlook object using CreateObject in VB Script.

Suggestions please.

Reagrds,
Ramachandra.

Will all the recipients be Outlook users? Or do you need to support other
recipients? The reason I ask is that vCalendar or iCalendar may be the best
way to do this. I know there are some ASP.NET iCalendar components if you
Google a little.

If, on the other hand, you must send genuine Outlook meeting requests, not
iCal items, you probably will need to build a ASP.NET web custom control
that uses client-side scripting to invoke the user's Outlook application.
This is very likely to trigger ActiveX security prompts or even be blocked
by the client's browser settings. Also, I don't know of any working examples
for this. I played around with a control for Outlook tasks that worked on
one server, but I couldn't get it to install on another ASP.NET server, so
I'm sure I'm still missing a piece of the puzzle. Very frustrating.

Hi Mosher,

I able to send a meeting request fom client side using createObjet method in
VB Script. Is there a way to update the Meeting request?

For example, firstly I have sent a meeting request to all participents. Now
I need to change the location only. How do I update the existing meeting
request?

Please help..

Regards,
Ramachandra

You'd need to update the saved appointment in the user's calendar and then
send it as a meeting request again.

Hi,

How do I update the user's calendar?. After some search on net I found some
code in msdn to update the user's calendar, but for that it is asking to add
Microsoft CDO Exchange 2000 reference. And I do not have exchange server
installed on my server. In that case how to update the user's calnedar? Is
there any other way to update the users calendar.

And one more thing if user is using personal folder, how can I update the
personal folders of the user's?

Please guide me...

Regards,
Ramachandra.

The CDO library is installed on 2000, XP and 2003.  I believe it's on teh CD
for Office 97 and 2000 professional as an optional component.  It doesn't
require Exchange.

Hi,

With CDO library can we access the user's calendar?
I tired to add reference of cdo library in my project and when I trying to
search for Appointments in that library, I could not found the same.

Any guess on that...

Ramachandra

Good question - I never tried appointments.  It should work but the folder
is Claendar or a custom Calendar.  The constants in CDO are sometimes
different than in Outlook.

Here is the info on using CDO in Outlook

You can install Microsoft Outlook in two different modes: the Internet Mail
Only (IMO) and the Corporate or Workgroup (CW). A different Messaging
Application Program Interface (MAPI) subsystem is installed for each of
these modes. The MAPI subsystem installed in the IMO mode is a stub that
provides minimal MAPI support for the basic functionality of Microsoft
Outlook.

Microsoft Outlook must be installed in the CW mode to provide full support
for the following technologies:
      . Extended MAPI
      . Simple MAPI
      . Collaboration Data Objects 1.2x (CDO)
      . Exchange Developer's Kit (EDK)
      . MAPI Controls
Programs that use these technologies can run on systems where Microsoft
Outlook is installed in the IMO mode, but this mode is not supported.
MORE INFORMATION
It is possible to switch modes from IMO to CW. For additional information on
switching modes, click the article number below to view the article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

CDO 1.21 does have an AppointmentItem object but it can only be used with
items in the default Calendar folder of the default mail store (where the
email is delivered) for that Outlook profile. For items in any other
calendar type folder you access items in the folder as Message objects.

The primary difference is that in the default folder you can use
AppointmentItem properties directly. In other folders you use the
Message.Fields collection with the appropriate property tags for the
properties you want.

www.cdolive.com/cdo10.htm has a nice list of various property tags for item
types, including lots that aren't documented anywhere else.

CDO for Exchange is not relevant to your task, since you don't have
Exchange. CDO 1.21 would not give you any capabilities different from the
Outlook object model, would be slightly more cumbersome to work with, and
might not be installed on all users' machines.

As I said before, you would need to write client-side code to access and
work with the user's data. Their default Calendar folder can be returned
with the Outlook object model's Namespace.GetDefaultFolder method.
