Creating A VB Form to View Multiple peoples Calendar
Hi All,
I want to create a simple vb 6.0 form, which will allow me to view and edit several peoples outlook 2000 calendar's at once (4 people). lets say for example the users and mail server are as follows :-
Exchange server = mail2000
person1 = Rich
Person2 = Dave
Person3 = Paul
Person 4 = Bob
Anyone have any idea's please,
Cheers,
Ribuck

There are controls in VB called 'Microsoft Outlook Recipient Control' and 'Microsoft Outlook View Control'. I've not used them, myself, but maybe they might allow you to at least query the mailboxes to some extent?
In case you don't have the View Control, it can be downloaded, freely, from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=831F957F-3190-48DA-A099-2BDBC7397623&displaylang=en

Jimbibmcgee,
how do i use this control within VB ?

To actually use the control, you would first need to reference it. I believe it is done by going to Tools/References (that might just be within VBA, though -- I have no VB6 testing area at the moment).
The link I posted above points to a Microsoft help file that you can download and use as a reference guide for the control itself...

Think it must be Different in VB6 as references can only be in the format of *.olb, *.tlb or *.dll, and the file i downloaded was a .chm file, which i believe is purely just a help file.
Should it not be some sort of OCX or DLL file ?

You are right, my mistake. The link is to a help file on the usage of the control.
If you have installed Office (2000/XP/2003) you should already have the Microsoft Outlook View Control -- it is called OUTLCTL.DLL and should be somewhere within the Office folder tree. Once referenced in your project, its methods should be available to you.
