Hello

I want our intranet to sent email to our users that contains .ics files to for they can add some appointement in their calendars.

I tried to send an appointement to an external user from Notes client so I can see what .ics file Notes generates itself and its format. If I send it back to an other user in Lotus everything works fine.

Now I want to reproduce wit new files from our intranet. The first file to invite people to an appointment works fine. But the 2nd one for change in date or time does not, when I open the file it says I did not first added the appointment in my calendar, while I did. Seems it does not find in my calendar the appointement I want to modify.

I think I understood all of the .ics file content, except the X-LOTUS-CHILD-UID tag that is different between initial invitation and modification, and I don't know what it deals with. Not sure my probleme comes from it anyway.

Here is my first file :
