Calendar Web App w/ Outlook forms

[Justin M. Keyes]

Hi,

Please excuse my ignorance... I need to make a website that has a calendar
page which stores data on a MS SQL database. I've been told that Outlook
forms would be useful for this (with or without MS Exchange), but I'm
confused as to how this is true. Wouldn't I just have to pull the data from
Jet or MS DB like a normal
implementation? Or, does Outlook forms have some
utility/add-on/plugin/built-in that serves a form accessible via http?

I don't understand why it would be more useful/expedient than a normal
database + webapp such as Zope/PHP/ASP.

Thank you.

Outlook forms probably would not be useful for this at all unless you used a
third-party tool or custom code to create database records at the same time
you create appointments. I can't imagine why someone would have steered you
that way.
