create calendar event using external data

[Bob]

I am try to create a calendar event by using data from our HR application.
This code creates an email and an attachment but when it will not open but
gives a message indicating that a gregorian date is required vs a lunar date.
Is it a formatting issue?

We are using Outlook 2003

Make sure your dates are formatted in Gregorian format. Try adding the
METHODUBLISH command and make sure DTSTAMP is the correct format. DTSTAMP
is required in a VEVENT, according to RFC 2445 which defines the iCal
standard. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445
