Posting Data From MS Access to Outlook

[AndrewDB]

Hi All. I need to present data from a scheduling database in a type of
year/monthly/weekly layout similar to that used by Outlook. Instead of trying
to re-invent the wheel, is there a way that I can post the data to the
Outlook appointments facility so that the Outlook calendar facility can be
used? I will need to delete/update/add data to Outlook without affecting any
other appointment information stored . If this is not possible any other
solution will be appreciated. I am using Office 2007 Prof.

This sounds like a good application for the Replication API, which allows a
MAPI transport provider to replicate data between a dedicated .pst file --
in your scenario, a .pst file containing a calendar folder, and a database
or other external data source. See
