Exporting data to outlook, then updating....
Hi Everyone,
I have a calendaring system developed in Visual FoxPro that I would like to use to send calendar information (appointments etc...) to Outlook, and then be able to either "delete and replace" or "update in place" later on. I have many examples of how to send data to Outlook, but haven't come across any that describe how to "synchronize" those items in outlook if they've changed in my VFP application (this only needs to be a one-way sync, once the data is in Outlook, it should be read-only). Is there an easy way to find the items that I've sent to Outlook, so I can update them as needed? The main reason for Outlook is to use it as a vehicle to get my calendar data into the PDA's of our users. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks. -- William Fields MCSD - Microsoft Visual FoxPro MCP - Win2k Pro US Bankruptcy Court Phoenix, AZ "God was able to create the world in only seven days because he had no installed base to consider." -Andy Finkel |

You have to develop your own mechanism for that, possibly setting a property
in Outlook that corresponds to the index in your VFP table. You can then use MAPIFolder.Items.Find to perform the lookup. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "William Fields" wrote in message ...

Thanks Sue, I was able to get some sample code for adding an appointment
from this thread: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...osoft.public.* -- William Fields MCSD - Microsoft Visual FoxPro MCP - Win2k Pro US Bankruptcy Court Phoenix, AZ "God was able to create the world in only seven days because he had no installed base to consider." -Andy Finkel "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...
