Hi everyone,

I would like to create appointments (or meetings) in Outlook from my application. WD has no built in functions for that. There are Task() functions but that not what I need, I really need to create appointments with the option to invite other members.

As an exercise I tried using OLE with the locally installed client. That works, but I rather want to use the Exchange server directly. Because otherwise it requires an active Outlook client to be running. And in this case I want to do this from a central point, ie a scheduled task on a server every night, which creates new appointments based on the info in a database.

Anyone done this before?

Looks like EWS is the way to go
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj900168(v=exchg.150).aspx
to interact with an Exchange server, using webservices

There is also a .NET library, which basicly exposes all the webservice calls (SOAP) in an object model, like an mail-object, appointment-object and so on.

I will give that a try, but still any help or an example is welcome.
