raminder Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I want to open an outlook calendar so I can export some of the dates from it, currenlty I open outlook and go to the calendar by doing: Run ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\Outlook.exe /select outlook:calendar") The problem is my outlook as more then one calendar - running the above does not open the calendar I wish to. Is there a way I can pass the name of the calendar I want to the above line of code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Is the other calendar under a different container or does it have a different name? You might try "mystuff:calendar" for a different container, or "outlook:MyCalendar" if it's under the default folder with a different name. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

You might try "mystuff:calendar" for a different container, or "outlook:MyCalendar" if it's under the default folder with a different name.There is a very good Outlook UDF that might offer the function you need or give you at least an idea how to do it yourself.I successfully open the calender of another user using the COM interface.

raminder Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Thanks for the replys. The calendar is a shared one. I tried the "outlook:MyCalendar" but that didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I use the following code to access the calendars of other users (Outlook 2002):$sTemp = "user for which you want to access the calender" $oApp = ObjCreate("Outlook.Application") $oNS = $oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI") $oDummy = $oApp.CreateItem($olMailItem) ; Create dummy mail for name resolution $oRecip = $oDummy.Recipients.Add("=" & $sTemp) ; "=" stands for exact name resolution $oRecip.Resolve If $oRecip.Resolved Then $oFolder = $oNS.GetSharedDefaultFolder($oRecip, $olFolderCalendar) If IsObj($oFolder) Then ... access the calendar ...
