Send appointment from Access to someone else's Outlook 2003 calend

[Dawn Bjork Buzbee]

Seeking code/examples, etc. for:
* Employee is registered for a company training class in Access 2003 (I have
this).
* As part of the confirmation, an appointment is created in the employee's
Outlook 2003 calendar with a reminder for the class (need this).

I have located a number of resources that have code for creating an
appointment in Outlook from Access. All of these examples create the
appointment for the active user. I can not, however, find any way to send an
appointment with custom info (for training class) to another person
(attendee). The closest solution I have right now is to generate a customized
e-mail message to attendee with text that reminds them to create an reminder
/ appointment for the upcoming class.

Any ideas, links, code, etc.?

Thank you in advance,

This is really a question for an Outlook forum.

Here what I could find on the subject.

"Use Namespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder to open other user's calendar folder
and add an appointment directly." -- Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP)

You could also forward an iCalendar that the user would simply need to click
on to add it to his calendar.

Thank you, Daniel, for giving me some new directions to look at.
