Outlook Forms?

[Luca Fortesi]

Hi everyone,
I need to intercept oulook 2003 calendar insertions
and create a record in a sql table ("Appointments"). This
will occurs only if the item inserted is of a certain type
(f.i. no personal appointments should be considered).

A friend of mine told me to use the UserProperties for the
Calendar Items (a bool property that tells if the
appointment it's personal or not). Should I need a custom
form to let the user specify the nature of the item?

Thanks
LucaF

Your friend may have given you misleading advice. UserProperties is a collection of custom defined fields. It does not necessarily tell you whether an appointment is personal. What do *you* consider a personal appointment? Is a custom form always involved?

Thanks for your answer and sorry to answer you back so late, but I was oof for a week.
Yes, his idea was to create a custom form that allows the User to specify if the
items is personal or not.
If the user specified that the item is personal, I wouldn't process it.

Thanks

You can use the Sensitivity property for that (shown as Private in the Field Chooser).
