Default Custom calendar: show data from other calendars?

Actually, I was just thinking: Could I add a hook in
creating/editing/deleting calendar items? Like, when a user creates
something in their calendar, I could check to see if I'm interested,
and add it to a calendar in a public folder.

Let me know if that can be done. From what I've seen so far, adding
things to public calendars is not supported in CDO. So let me know if
there is any way to do this -- in Outlook, or in talking to Exchange,
or something else.

Yes, that can be done, but it's not quite that simple, because you'd also want to handle updates to the original items. Tom Howe's Enterprise Calendar sample from http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/scheduleall.htm shows one approach.

Okay, I'll take a look. It's good to know that there are ways to do
this.

I may end up doing this through the web. Is there a way to iterate
through users' calendars and gather information (e.g. Subject, Type,
Start Time, and End Time)? I don't care if this is slow or fast.

Yes, the Namespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder method can return other calendar folders for which you have permission. They can also be accessed with CDO 1.21.
