Display calendar on webpage

[C Holmes]

Hello everyone,

Is there a way to dynamically display a outlook calendar on a webpage?

I know that outlook has an option to save a calendar as a webpage. But it
looks like it will only be as current as when it was "saved as webpage".

I'm looking for a way so that anytime someone clicks to display the page,
the calendar data is dynamically refreshed.

Thanks in advance.

It can be done but you'd need to do everything yourself. Since Outlook code
can only run client side on a machine with Outlook installed you'd need
something like an Outlook addin that would be called from the outside to
save as web page and then the web code could pick that up. You'd need to
establish some messaging back and forth running client side to know when to
call the addin to save the calendar.

Just thinking of ways he might be able to at least partially resolve the
issue....

Could he create a macro (or code?) to save the calendar on a periodic basis
(daily, hourly, etc.) that would run automatically. This isn't as good as
having it refreshed dynamically in real time, but maybe it would be "good
enough" for his purposes?

That can be done but you'd need to work out how to call the macro. VBA
doesn't provide any timer controls, so you'd probably need to use a Win32
API timer. There are VB6 code samples for that on the Web, which could be
used with minor modifications.

Thank you for your replies Ken & Chris. I am going to inform my coworkers
that the effort involved is likely more than we are interested in putting it
to it and that we may want to reconsider this one.

Cheers
