I am having our Exchange Admin create a public calendar.
The goal is to allow people to request time for a resource.
One key to achieving this goal is to ensure that a exact amount of
time is alloted to the time request based on historical data. The
historical data will be stored in a SQL Server DB.
For example: if a requestor want to request a resource for "task X"
then I wish to invoke a DB call to find the average time for task X
then "automagically" set the start and end time in the Event interface
in Outlook. The start and end time should also be read only. This also
implies that the item "task X" is a predefined in a drop down list in
the Event interface.
I have been writting software with various products since 1997. I can
handle the DB part without much problem. Building the form for outlook
is a foreign topic to me.
Is this possible with a reasonable amount of effort?
If so can someone please supply a few pointers? Any suggested book
titles that will lead me in the right direction?
