Button option in an e-mail to others stating "Add to my Calendar"

[Guest]

Hi there,

I need to send a large number of staff a confirmation e-mail stating they
have nominated to attend a certain training session and their request has
been approved.

In this e-mail I provide them with the date, time and location of their
training.

A large number of staff forget to attend because they don't add the training
sessions information to their Outlook Calendar with a reminder.

I don't send this e-mail in the form of an Invitation/Meeting Request
because I don't want to receive all the accept or decline e-mails.

I'd like to add a button to my confirmation e-mail that says "Add to my
Calendar" and when they click on this button it pasts the appropriate
information into their calendar and sets a reminder for them to attend the
training session.

Anyone able to help?

Thanks.

That would require creating a custom Outlook form with code behind it to create the appointment. The form would, of course, have to be published in the Organizational Forms library. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms/holiday.htm for one approach.
