Exporting data to outlook, then updating....

[William Fields]

Hi Everyone,

I have a calendaring system developed in Visual FoxPro that I would like to
use to send calendar information (appointments etc...) to Outlook, and then
be able to either "delete and replace" or "update in place" later on.

I have many examples of how to send data to Outlook, but haven't come across
any that describe how to "synchronize" those items in outlook if they've
changed in my VFP application (this only needs to be a one-way sync, once
the data is in Outlook, it should be read-only). Is there an easy way to
find the items that I've sent to Outlook, so I can update them as needed?
The main reason for Outlook is to use it as a vehicle to get my calendar
data into the PDA's of our users.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

You have to develop your own mechanism for that, possibly setting a property
in Outlook that corresponds to the index in your VFP table. You can then use
MAPIFolder.Items.Find to perform the lookup.

Thanks Sue, I was able to get some sample code for adding an appointment
from this thread:
