I would like to know how to producr an appointment template that, when
clicked, will go into the correct calendar (reception staff use multiple
calendars) rather than the users default calendar? also can this template be
available in outlook in a folder or something?


thanks for your help!

Just have the people open the correct calendar first. An appointment will
go first in a currently open calendar or, if none is open, the default
calendar.

Hi there,

It's only going into the default calendar.

This is my method. When in an appointment I go file save as.. from here i
have tried saving the completed appointment layout as an outlook template and
as icalendar and vcalendar formats.

what am i doing wrong?

Why are you choosing FileSave As and not just pressing Save and Close?

Because I am trying to produce a template appointment layout which can be
saved ready to use on the desktop or perhaps an outlook folder over and over.
If i create a new appointment and hit save and close then one instance of
that appointment is saved in the calendar. Once the template is prepared then
save and close would be fine.

by selecting file save as i am given the three choices of file format
stated in my last post.

I accept that this may not be the appropriate method but it would be simpler
if the correct one was told to me from start to finish as my inexperience
with outlook is pretty obvious to be fair

What you need is to design a specific calendar form using the
Tools-Forms-Design a Form. Select Appoinment form to customize. See
http://www.outlookcode.com for assistance with the specific design and how
to install this as your default form for new appointments.
