I have finally broken down and decided to make a major push to use outlook appointments for scheduling my client work. In order to make this work however I need to be able to create the appointment in Outlook and have it create a dummy billing (time) record in my billing database, and if I delete or drag the edges of the appointment around, have it modify my billing records. I know how to automate outlook, get it instantiated and watch events etc, but I have never fiddled with anything but messages and attachments. Does anyone have example code for doing this kind of stuff, particularly the "dragging of appointment times". Done correctly I could make appointments, then as the time comes to do the work, I could go in to the appointment and fill in the work done right in outlook and have the data transferred to my billing program. Anyone? John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com
