Hello all,
Just had a quick search on the net and I can't see anything obvious, so I will ask the collective STW minds...
I have data in excel that is related to dates in a calendar.
I want to send this data to a calendar(s) that are both my own, and others in a research group.
Is it possible to upload this information to a 'site/server' or similar (this my be incorrect IT speak - please excuse my ignorance) and then have it be 'pushed' to peoples calendars?
Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
Almost certainly using VBA - you can interact with Outlook and hence Exchange from within Excel, using VBA.
Have a look using Google eg:

The simplest way would be to send calender invites, via Outlook, but use Excel VBA to drive Outlook and create / send the invites.
I've got Excel to send emails via Outlook eg notify me, with an email, if an error case occurs in an Excel application.
Oh, this sounds clever! Thank you. I will have a look now.
OK, just had a look and the code I used came from: http://www.rondebruin.nl/cdo.htm
To send an email from Excel VBA:
Public Sub Mail_small_Text_Outlook(ByVal strbody As String, ByVal Recipient As String)
'Working in Office 2000-2010
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As ObjectSet OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = Recipient
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = ""
.Body = strbody
'You can add a file like this
'.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
.Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = NothingEnd Sub
Footflaps - thank you!
If only I knew what all that lot meant. I will read around the subject a little.
