ATTENDEE parameter in ics file

R

Robert Fitzpatrick

I have a web application with a calendar and trying to create an ics
file with a script. All works fine except none of the ATTENDEE
parameters show up as additional attendees when I double-click to open
in Outlook 2003. All other info comes through fine, organizer, the
dates, etc. Below is one I've produced with my script, can someone point
out what I'm doing wrong? I'm tried VERSION 1.0 and using a Microsoft
generated PRODID, nothing seems to help.
