Programming Outlook
Hi,
I'm wondering if Outlook has some kinda of API that allows a Microsoft COM+ or C++ program to manipulate the events in the Calendar? (Such as moving an event from one place to another?) If so, can anyone direct me to a resource specifically for this purpose (not generic Outlook programming)?
Thanks!

oh, like if there is an appointment from 3:00 - 4:00 on Thursday afternoon, and after another event has been scheduled, this event will be moved to Friday afternoon instead, according to some rules...
NGInterface,
There is no special API for that, but then you don't need one. Outlook's object model will do this without breaking a sweat.

What is Outlook's object model? Is that something like an object that represents Outlook and that I can simply do things like:
object.moveEvent(a, b)?
Thanks.
object.moveEvent(a, b)?
Thanks.

Okay, thanks! Just one more question: is this the best way to program microsoft outlook? i want to be able to send this program to other people once i'm done...
The best way to write distributable Outlook code is via an add-in.
> manipulate the events in the Calendar
Manipulate them how?
Cheers!
