Post subject: Extract calendar meeting start and end time Archived from groups: microsoft>public>outlook>program_vba (more info?)
I use Access 2003 to link to Outlook Calendar. The fields I can read for
example are "Subject", "Sender Name", ... But I want to get the "Start time"
and "End time" so I can build a database to record the schedule for the
events on my group calendar. I don't want to create my own group forms as we
use the same MS calendar form for different groups. Is there any way I can
get to these information?

The linked table method has major limitations, including the inability to
show even all the reasonably important fields. While articles have been
written on how to expand on this method's obvious features, I've never been
able to duplicate the results. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=25 .
That page will also give you other ideas on how to work with databases and
Outlook together. Most likely, you'll need to write code or use a third-party
tool that does the heavy lifting.

Thanks,
I spend some time on this subject as you recommended and it's more complex
than I thought. I checked with other vendors and they all use kind of
customed forms. Some have good tools for development but it's still require a
learning curve and then some body has to keep the maintenance if needed.
Unfortunately, I am not working for IT, and my boss prefers a standard
approach.
Thanks,
Henry
