Hi,
Is it possible to read/write the options in Outlook that can be seen in
Tools->Options? I'm specifically interested in the Calendar options. I'm
using VS.NET 2005 and Outlook 2003. If it's not possible in Outlook 2003,
how about 2007?

Thanks!
 
Which options specifically? Some are stored in the registry, but you can't force Outlook to read any changes. Others are stored as hidden items or fields in Outlook folders.
 
Hi,
Tools->Options->Calendar Options
Advanced Options section
I want to be able to set/get "Enable alternate calendar" and the associated
combi boxes next to that option.
Thanks!
 
I think I've found the right keys, but please can you confirm them for me:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Calendar
Show BothCal - set to 1
Alter Calendar Lang and Alter Calendar Type - set to appropriate values

Correct?
 
Yes, those look right. But again, any changes you make while Outlook is running may or may not take effect until the next Outlook session starts.
