Button/form for updating recipient's Calendar

[Tom]

Hey All,

Any Chance anyone has an form or script that would create a button on an
email (Outlook 2007) and when the recipient (external) of that emails clicked
the button it would update their calendar with the detailed information about
the meeting (date & time along with some basic detail in the notes field).

I'm holding a seminar and I want to mail out an email notice to my customers
telling them about the event.

At the bottom of the message body I wanted a button that they could push
(i.e. YES, I want to ATTEND) that would update their calendar with the event
details AND send me a confirmation email that they want to attend.

Make sense? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your help!!!

Tom

Unless the link is to a web page with some of the features you describe, a link can't do that.

What you can do is send your recipients a meeting request. If they have Outlook or another program that can handle meeting requests, they'll be able to respond to it. If not, they'll still see the basic meeting details in the message.

Thanks Sue,

Is there a way to BCC someone in a meeting invite? I don't want everyone
seeing who is invited.

Thanks - Tom

No, there's no Bcc provision for meeting requests. You'll have to choose which is more important -- getting responses back to update a single item on your calendar or keeping the attendee list secret.
