Which way to go about this.....
Hello.
I'm looking to find out which is the best way to go about solutioning this problem. I have a website that's got an XML file filled events. the events have items w/ date and time in them. What I want to do is have something in outlook that will go and get the URL of that xml file, download it and put the right items in the right days. I'm not sure if this a new form, Macro, com add-in, etc. Can someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks!

What kind of application you build depends on who is going to use it under what conditions (including the version of Outlook). See if you can fill in those details.

Thanks!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - who - non-technical leaders, so I would like a menu item. what conditions - Begining of every week. They'll click on the menu item, it downloads the file (XML) then parses it out into the calendar. The version of Outlook is 2007. Does that help?

In that case, since you're building an application for multiple people to use, an add-in would be the preferred solution and Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005 SE probably the best development platform.
Too bad the data is formatted as XML rather than iCalendar, since Outlook 2007 can import an iCal file quite easitly. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Michael" wrote in message oups.com...

But hey, thanks for the tip! that's exactly what I was looking for. I'd love to look at your outlookcode.com website. but I get a Parser Error in your C# code (at least that's what IIS is sending me).

Since I don't write C# code, I can't help with that. If you're having a problem with one of the samples that someone else has posted, give them a comment.
