This is really more of an MS Outlook than an Zope question. I want to provide a view on out Zope Intranet into a special Calendar folder in Outlook on NT4 Terminal Server. It would be sufficient (not to mention easier than doing MAPI programming) to periodically export the Calendar folder to a file, where Zope could read it over the network. Outlook has such an export function, which you can use if you are sitting at the keyboard running Outlook. However, I do not see how to invoke the export function automatically. Does anyone know how to automatically and periodically make Outlook export a folder? -- Thanks -- Loren
<guess>Use pythoncom to write a python script that does the export. Run that as a scheduled task</guess> Cheers. -- Andy McKay. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Loren Stafford" <lstafford@morphics.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 10:30 AM Subject: [Zope] Outlook -> Zope help needed

Sure. But that would be "reinventing the wheel", and therefore a solution of last resort. The export function already exists in Outlook. I don't want to duplicate it; just invoke it. -- Thanks anyway -- Loren

I wouldnt suggest reinventing the export function, just calling it via COM.

I beleive that's what Andy was getting at. Write a python script that calls the Outlook export function via COM On 23 Aug 2001 11:18:36 -0700, Loren Stafford wrote:
