Milo: Using Fp2003 to allow people to add an Outlook Calendar ite
Have looked around a lot on the net and can't find a clear answer to something I hope is simple. I'm the webmaster (FrontPage 2003) for a small non-profit. They asked if there were any way to put an "Add to my Outlook Calendar" link next to new events we post. I was able to create an .ics (iCalendar) file and add that to the site, but when I link to it, Firefox just opens it as text and IE just puts it in an obscure folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\iMacros\Downloads) so neither actually added it to Outlook. I'm not loyal to doing this via an .ics file if there's a better way...what I'm seeing out there just keep implying that that's the way to do it...but without enough follow through for me to get it to work. Someone on a blog said that it can be done via Outlook Online, which I'd never heard of before, but I tried logging on to that and couldn't find any help on it there. Clearly, there must be a way, since i see it on sites, but this semi-novice without a ton of technical training is stumped. Info would be appreciated!!! Thanks so much! Milo

If it is a valid ics file - have your users right click to save the file to a folder of their choice - then double clicking the download file should add the event to the Outlook calendar -- _____________________________________________ SBR @ ENJOY (-: [ Microsoft MVP - FrontPage ] "Warning - Using the F1 Key will not break anything!"
