Sending Outlook 2003 Calendar as a File

Is there a way to send an Outlook 2003 Calendar or
portion of a calendar (just a month's view) as an email
attachment so it can be viewed by someone who may not
have/use Outlook?

I have tried the save as HTML option, however the view
does not show all the calendar items. It will list them
on the side, however, all the items do not show on the
calendar part of the HTML view. This would be way too
confusing for those the file would be sent to.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks,
Cindy

The closest Outlook can come to a built-in method for sending a calendar as
a single file attachment is to export the Calendar folder to a file, then
sending the exported file.

However, if you have Word, you can use one of the Word templates listed at
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/calendar.htm#print to push the Outlook data
into a Word document, then attach that document to a message.

If you have Visio 2003, you can use the Import Outlook Data Wizard to create
a calendar from Outlook data, using a filter to include only certain
appointments. The resulting .vsd file can then be sent as an attachment.

For a VBA code solution that creates an HTML-format mail message containing
any single day's appointment list, see
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=24 .

Another technique is to use a third-part tool called ClipForm
(http://www.ivitar.com/clipform/). This tool uses templates to export
Outlook data -- a whole folder or selected items -- to the Windows
clipboard, text file, HTML email message, or other file types.
