Automate export of Appointment Insert/Update/Delete infomation to the database cookiesncreamychoc[ at ]hotmail.com 3/14/2006 1:08:55 AM Hi All, I'm a newbie and have managed to create an add-in (VB 2005) that stores all the appointment times against the contacts entered in the contacts field of the appointment form (Outlook 2003) in a SQL 2000 database. Is there a way to automate the updating of database on clicking the save button for an appointment in the appointment form or moving the appointment in the calendar? I have found some (barely enuf) info about the AppointmentItem.Write and MAPIFolder.Items.ItemAdd events but I'm not sure abt how to use them. Any help wud n appreciated. Thanx

But i just have another question with the ItemRemove event of the calendar folder as the item is not passed as a parameter (unlike ItemAdd and ItemChange events) I need to update a column in the database. How do I retrieve the AppointmentItem in this instance?? Thanx
