I had the same problem last week. But the trick is.

You can actually setup OUTLOOK web based. Look's and feel excalty the same as outlook. The use is the same.

Just ask your admin to setup Outlook as web based also.

Hope it helps

If you have IIS installed on your Exchange server, it's probably already installed, try http://exchgserver/exchange

I don't have any examples handy, but I've seen ASP pages use CDO to create appointments for users.

Sorry I don't have any source, but I have seen it done. No, you don't have to use it web-based. That's like saying you have to set your house on fire for heat if your heater is out.

or... you can just vbscript that operates on the client side and use the Application.Outlook object.

helps if you have created outlook forms or macros in the past.
