Hi,

I have a database which is used for recruitment purposes.
I record upcoming recruitment information such as dates,
time, name of recruiter in a "Visits" table. Is there a
way that once a visit is confirmed, I can push a button
(let's call the button "Confirm"), and then this
recruitment visit will be added to the given recruiter's
Calendar in Microsoft Outlook? I know that you can link
tables to Outlook however what I would like is to be able
to automate this process. I have a group of six
recruiters, and each time a visit is confirmed for that
specific recruiter, it should create an entry in
the appropriate person's calendar.

I am using Access 2002. Thanks for any and all advice.

Hi Mike,

This is usually possible by using Automation and the Outlook object
model. Just how to do it depends on how your network is set up (e.g. are
you using Exchange Server?), and a good place to look for information is
