Subject: Appointment from Notes >> Outlook 2007

Feedback Type: Question

Product Area: Notes Client

Technical Area: Customization

Platform: Windows XP client

Release: 8.5

Reproducible: Not applicable

This may be a simple question but somehow I don't get it:

I need to be able to send calendar entries right into MS Outlook calendars.

I know how to create suitable entries from my app in any Notes calendar. I also know how to create iCalendar files (.ics) that can be imported into an Outlook calendar. And I also know that if I send an invitation from my Notes calendar to an Outlook user that this invitation automatically is resolved as an invitation by the Outlook client: the resulting Outlook mail already contains buttons / actions / whatever to accept or decline.

Now: if I create my iCalendar file then send it as an attachment, the recipient has to first double click on the attachment before they are asked to accept / whatever.

Question: how do I have to embed / attach / send my iCalendar info so that it is resolved automatically be the Outlook client?

Any help is highly appreciated!
