I am a member of an organisation which maintains a calendar of events
initially in Outlook, but posts it on the web as a .pdf file. I want the
secreatary to email me the appropriate file from his Outlook calendar so I
can merge it with my calendar to save me manually entering all the events.
Can I do this and which file should he send me?
 
Borrowed from fellow Outlook MVP Sue Mosher:

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.
