Publish a custom form to multiple users calendars

[xchfroggie]

I am creating an app for which I need certain data to be entered when
creating a new appointment. I designeda custom form and published it as
my default appointment form. Now I want all the users in my office to
use this same form when creating appointments. Is there a way to
automatically publish this form to their calendars by running a small
exe or something.

Yes, you can write a script or .exe that does this. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/distributeforms.htm

The original poster was trying to publish a form for multiple users, each to their individual Calendar folders. In other words, the form is being published only once per user, for their use in their local calendar.

Sue, I thought it was a bad thing to publish a form in more than one
place. Is there something about calendar forms that makes them
different?

Right. I guess I inferred Exchange from the term multiple users, rather
than standalone Outlook/pst users. Lets hope the 'xch' prefix on his
user name isn't significant here. I know "froggie the gremlin" lived
in a BusterBrown shoe, and wouldn't have an Exchange Server in there,
but "xchfroggie" is in an office. Hmmm. I'm not sure I want to ask.
