I've been doing a lot of research and purchased (but haven't completely
read) Sue Mosher's book. However, before I spend much more time I'd like to
find out if my idea is even feasible. The basic idea is to create an
appointment system for multiple therapists that can be used by a
receptionist and other staff. Using Outlook and Exchange is very nice but
the appointment data needs to end up in an Access table immediately.
We can purchase SBS 2003 with Exchange 2003 or we can buy a third party tool
for calendar sharing whichever would be the easiest to use. I currently
have an SBS 2003 server to test with. I'd like to build a multi-user split
Access project with the following features:
Ability to view multiple (3 users) Outlook 2003 calendars on an Access 2003
form. Do I have to use multiple Outlook View Controls or can one control
somehow show multiple calendars? If I have to use multiple controls then
can they be synched some how similar to the way they are when you view
multiple calendars in Outlook? In other words, all show the same date and
time of day.
Write appointments entered into any of the calendars to a table in access.
Or if that's next to impossible, I'd like to build some text boxes and a
command button to add the appointment simultaneously to the appropriate
calendar and to a table. Is either feasible?
Is it easier to work with calendars in a single pst file or Exchange folders
when using Access and VBA?
Thanks for any thoughts, suggestions, resources, etc.
